Alcohol consumption and all-cause mortality: an analysis of general practice database records for patients with long-term conditions by Stewart, Duncan, Han, Lu, Doran, Tim, McCambridge, Jim

“…Background: Alcohol is a risk factor for ill health and reduced life expectancy, but little is known about the impact of alcohol on mortality for people with existing long-term conditions. We used primary care data from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) to study relationships between alcohol consumption and all-cause mortality among general practice patients with long-term conditions. …”
