The objective of this study is to examine hospital morbidity and mortality associated with alcohol-related liver disease (ARLD) in France for the year 2008, based on data from the PMSI-MCO. In 2008, 143,970 hospital stays, corresponding to 64,390 patients, were attributed to ARLD. More than half of these patients (57.9%) were hospitalized specifically for one of these diseases or one of its complications. Among these patients, there were 4,969 deaths. Hospitalization rates were three times higher among men than among women (157.7 and 48.1 per 100,000 inhabitants, respectively). The age-specific rates of hospitalized patients increased with age, peaking among those aged 60–64. Taking demographic structure into account, rates varied by geographic area: they were highest in the North and Northwest regions and lower in the South. These results constitute a first nationwide analysis of hospitalizations related to MAF, establishing a baseline that can be tracked over time and across regions. (R.A.)
