Abstract

Background: According to a report from the World Health Organization (WHO), alcohol abuse can lead to numerous consequences on mental health and social development in general. Alcohol-related harm affects not only the consumers but also their families and the community they are living in. The evidence suggests that alcohol-related harm impedes social and economic development, increases healthcare costs as well as property damage, and reduces production and quality of life, particularly in developing countries. Objectives: The research aims to describe clinical features, subclinical features and results of treatment for inpatients with alcohol withdrawal syndrome at Can Tho Psychiatric Hospital. Materials and methods: The participants were inpatients with alcohol withdrawal syndrome at Can Tho Psychiatric Hospital. The research was conducted with a cross-sectional study design. Results: The most common clinical features in patients with alcohol withdrawal syndrome are autonomic disturbances (tremor, sweating, tachycardia), visual hallucinations, sleep disturbances, and memory disturbances at a rate of 100%; the most common subclinical features are elevated liver enzymes (85.4%), anemia (83.3%) and thrombocytopenia (79.2%); successful treatment results reached 87.5%. Conclusions: Psychiatric and neurological symptoms are the most common symptoms, and laboratory tests show abnormal liver function due to long-term effects of alcohol. Response of participants to alcohol withdrawal syndrome treatments is very positive, excluding cases with serious comorbidities.
