Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment for Alcohol revised (CIWA-Ar)
The CIWA (Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment)[1] is a common measure used in North American hospitals to assess and treat alcohol withdrawal syndrome and for alcohol detoxification. This clinical tool assesses 10 common withdrawal signs.[2] A score of more than 15 points is associated with increased risk of alcohol withdrawal effects such as confusion or seizures.
