Brief summary

alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a very common condition in patients admitting in ICU's. Brutal stop of alcohol consumption may lead to a withdrawal syndrome, wich is associated with a worse outcome for ICU patients (longuer ICU and hospital stays, use of mechanical ventilation, traumas). The aim of this study is to valid a score (PAWSS : prediction of alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS) scale) to predict at admission mild to severe AWS in ICU patients population.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Evaluation of PAWSS statistic performances to predict AWS in ICU patientsthe first 5 days of hospital stayEvaluation of sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of PAWSS to predict moderate or severe AWS (defined by a CIWA greater than or equal to 8)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Creation of a new score, the PAWSS-ICU, able to predict AWS in ICU patientsduring ICU stayTo this end, the characteristics of the \[no weaning/minimal weaning\] and \[moderate weaning/severe weaning\] groups will be compared, in order to identify significant differences between these two groups, and thus enable the creation of a new score. On an exploratory basis : * assess the incidence of alcohol misuse and withdrawal syndrome in our population, * assess the incidence of complications in the population with moderate to severe withdrawal (trauma, occurrence of pneumopathy, need for mechanical ventilation), * assess length of hospital stay and in-hospital mortality.

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
Evaluation of alcohol use disorders (AUD) ans AWS in our populationduring ICU stayAUD definition for our study : * AUD is mentionned in patient's medical record * heavy alcohol use (more than 3 drinks a day for a men ant more than 2 drinks a day for a woman) * harmful use : physical or psychological complications of alcohol use (liver cirrhosis, depression, ...)
