Abstract Background Alcohol‐associated liver disease (ALD) is a rising indication for transplantation (LT). Prolonged opioid use after LT leads to increased graft loss and mortality. The aim determine if patients transplanted with primary diagnosis of ALD had higher risk post‐LT (p‐LTOU) compared non‐ALD patients. Methods This retrospective study who underwent between 2015 2018 at Medstar Georgetown Transplant Institute. Patients prolonged hospitalization (>90 days), death within 90 days...

The rate of primary and secondary syphilis has continued to increase in the U.S., 2016, total 27,814 cases were reported - highest since 1993[1].
