- Abstract
Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) affect 1.7 million patients annually in the United States, and patients with alcohol use disorders (AUD) are at increased risk of developing HAI. HAI have been shown to substantially increase the hospital length of stay, mortality, and cost. In a cohort of patients with HAI, we sought to determine mortality, cost, and hospital length of stay attributable to AUD.
