Somatic comorbidities of inpatients receiving treatment for alcohol withdrawal syndrome on a psychiatric ward and their relation to delirium tremens.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to assess the influence of somatic diseases and patient characteristics (age, gender) in relation to delirium tremens (DT) episodes in alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS). We also analysed the influence of age, gender and specific somatic diseases on the duration of hospital stay and the frequency of comorbid somatic diseases among AWS and DT patients. Methods: The medical records of patients admitted to an AWS treatment ward in a Polish psychiatric hospital in 2019 were analysed. In total, 800 hospitalisations of 656 patients (625 hospitalisations for AWS and 175 for DT) were evaluated. Results: The most frequent group of somatic diseases among AWS and DT patients was cardiovascular diseases, with essential hyper tension as the main medical condition. Patients suffering from DT were diagnosed with respiratory system diseases ( Conclusions: The presence of respiratory system diseases, especially pneumonia, was found to influence the incidence of DT in AWS patients. Increased clinical vigilance for the prevention of lower airway infections in AWS patients is essential.
