[Comparative study of results of hepatic transplantation between 2 groups of patients: alcoholic cirrhosis versus non-alcoholic cirrhosis].
Among the patients treated for alcoholic cirrhosis, only a small group could be candidates for liver transplantation (LT). The aim of this multicentric study was to analyse the results of LT in a group of 75 patients with alcoholic cirrhosis (AC) compared with a group of 61 patients with non-alcoholic cirrhosis (NAC). Results were similar in both groups concerning survival rate and quality of life. However the ability to go back to a normal professional life was less in the AC group. The reported recurrence of alcoholic intoxication, which was around 26%, was much lower for patients who interrupted alcohol consumption during at least 3 months before L.T.
