Lead: Association between GLP-1 receptor agonists and alcohol-related hospitalisations among adults with alcohol use disorder: Multi-target trial emulation study
Association between GLP-1 receptor agonists and alcohol-related hospitalisations among adults with alcohol use disorder: Multi-target trial emulation study BMJ Open This retrospective cohort study using target trial emulation evaluated the association between use of newer glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs; semaglutide, tirzepatide) and alcohol-related hospitalizations among adults with alcohol use disorder (AUD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) or obesity. The authors found that among adults with AUD and T2D or obesity, initiation of newer GLP-1 RAs was associated with a lower observed risk of alcohol-related hospitalization.

Lead: Trends in alcohol-related deaths in the United States over 55 years: 1968-2023
Trends in alcohol-related deaths in the United States over 55 years: 1968-2023 Alcohol, Clinical and Experimental Research This study of alcohol-related mortality trends since 1968 used primarily death certificate data from the CDC WONDER database. Between 1998 and 2023 there were 1.3 million alcohol-related deaths. Overall age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMR) per 100,000 increased from 13 to 19. Rates increased from 1968 to 1980, declined from 1980 to 2000, and began an accelerating increase from 2000 to 2023, with a peak during COVID. AAMRs were higher for males (increasing from 20 to 28) than for females (increasing from 7 to 11). AAMR declined by 50% for Black individuals (from 28 to 14) and nearly doubled for Whites (increasing from 11 to 21) resulting in a dramatic racial inversion. Among age groups, the highest mortality was for 65+, attributed to baby boomer heavy drinking plus frailty of age. The largest increases were seen in the Midwest with the Northeast remaining stable.

Lead: Comparison of buprenorphine treatment by virtual-only vs. traditional clinicians
Comparison of buprenorphine treatment by virtual-only vs. traditional clinicians Journal of Substance Use and Addiction Treatment Few patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) receive medications for OUD (MOUD), such as buprenorphine. Given that many patients, particularly those in rural communities, do not live near a clinician who prescribes MOUD, telemedicine could increase MOUD access. However, clinicians and policymakers are concerned about the quality of the virtual-only model. This study compared the care provided by virtual-only versus traditional clinicians. The authors found few substantive differences in who used virtual-only care. For example, patients initiating buprenorphine with virtual-only versus traditional clinicians were equally likely to live in urban areas. Patients initiating buprenorphine with virtual-only clinicians had more visits in the 6 months after the initiation and were more likely to be on buprenorphine at 6 months, but had fewer days of continuous buprenorphine treatment. These results can inform ongoing debates about the strengths and weaknesses of virtual-only OUD care. Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM
