Overview
Screening
- Patient should be asked about daily or weekly alcohol consumption.[1]
- Patient should be asked about the CAGE questions (Sensitivity ≥ 70% and Specificity > 90%):[1]
- Have they ever felt the need to cut down on their drinking?
- If they are annoyed by criticism of their drinking?
- Have they ever felt guilty about their drinking?
- Have they ever needed an eye opener?
- Two positive answers indicate dependence on alcohol.
- Alcohol use disorders identification test (AUDIT-C) should also be implemented to detect alcohol abuse:[2]
- Men should score ≥ four points (Sensitivity = 86% and Specificity = 89%).
- Women should score ≥ three points (Sensitivity = 73% and Specificity = 91%).
