Abstract
Two hundred and forty new medical inpatients received Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), CAGE and brief Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (brief MAST) questionnaires. Sensitivities when identifying weekly drinkers of > 14 units (women) or > 21 units (men) were 93, 79 and 35%, respectively (P < 0.001). Sensitivities to > 21 units (women) or > 28 units (men were 100%, 94% and 47%. Routine screening of medical admissions with the AUDIT (cut-off score 8) is recommended.Entities:
