dc.description.abstractBackground: Observational studies have suggested a complex relationship between alcohol consumption and gastrointestinal (GI) disorder. Long-term consumption of alcohol has detrimental effects on the human body, which can range from mild dependence to severe alcohol dependence and in some cases presenting as gastric or duodenal perforation. Aim: The aim of this study was to compare gastric or duodenal perforation in substantially high risk group (moderate or severe alcohol dependence) to low risk group (mild dependence). Methods: All patients in the study were screened with alcohol use disorders identification test and assessed for severity of dependence with severity of alcohol dependence questionnaire (SADQ). Severity of dependence grouped as low risk (below 16 score) and substantially high risk group (score 16 or above) by SADQ. Results: The present study showed occurrence of gastric or duodenal perforation is more commonly seen in substantially high risk group (moderate to severe dependence) when compared to low risk (mild dependence) group. Majority of the substantially high risk dependence seen in males (69.5%), illiterate or less than SSLC (49.9%), from rural area (58.69%), and farmers (56.52%) irrespective of their sex. Conclusions: These results indicate that substantially high risk dependence (moderate to severe dependence) increases the relative risk of gastric or duodenal perforation. High risk dependence patients should be adequately evaluated for GI disorders to reduce morbidity and mortality.en_US
