Associations of the Korean patient placement criteria matching among individuals with alcohol-related problems with treatment completion and abstinence: an observational study.
Observational study in Addiction science & clinical practice, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe American Society of Addiction Medicine Patient Placement Criteria (ASAM PPC) are guidelines for matching addiction patients to an optimal level of care (LOC). South Korea lacked a systematic approach to assigning alcohol use disorder patients to suitable treatment. To address this, Park et al. translated the ASAM PPC into Korean, creating the Korean Patient Placement Criteria (KPPC). We aim to assess the efficacy of the KPPC by evaluating whether receiving KPPC-matched treatment would result in longer periods of alcohol abstinence and higher number of treatment program completion.
methodsThis is an observational, multi-site study of 225 individuals with hazardous alcohol use or alcohol dependence, defined by Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test score of 10 or more for men, and 6 or more for women. We evaluated patients using KPPC at baseline and one-month follow-up visits and recommended a LOC at every visit. Patients freely chose to receive KPPC-matched treatment or not. We examined the duration of alcohol abstinence and number of one-month treatment program completion within a three-month period.
resultsOf the 225 participants, 47 never pursued their matched level of care treatment, 54 pursued it once, and 124 pursued it twice. Individuals who received KPPC-matched treatment once had significantly higher odds of achieving alcohol abstinence (OR = 2.23), with greater odds when they received KPPC-matched treatments twice (OR = 2.88). The association was also significant for treatment completion, with greater odds of completing treatment program for one KPPC-matched treatment (OR = 3.28) and two KPPC-matched treatments (OR = 3.19).
conclusionsIndividuals who followed the KPPC matched level of care had longer periods of alcohol abstinence and better treatment completion. Our results should encourage community addiction management centers and hospitals to adopt KPPC for classifying treatment settings for alcohol use disorder patients. Further research is warranted to maximize the potential benefits of KPPC.
