    Reporting the cases of alcohol-associated hepatitis using the National Inpatient Sample data
    (Baishideng, 2023) Marlowe, Natalie; Lin, Wei-Qi; Liangpunsakul, Suthat; Medicine, School of Medicine
    The letter is to respond to the recent publication "Trends in hospitalization for alcoholic hepatitis from 2011 to 2017: A USA nationwide study" (World J Gastroenterol 2022; 28: 5036-5046). We noticed a significant difference in the total numbers of reported hospitalized alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH) patients between this publication and our publication on Alcohol Clin Exp Res (2022; 46: 1472-1481). We believe the number of "AH-related hospitalizations" inflated by the inclusion of patients with non-AH forms of alcohol-associated liver disease.
