Trends in the burden of hospitalised patients with cirrhosis in Switzerland: a cross-sectional study of cirrhosis-related hospitalisations between 1998 and 2020.

27 Alcohol consumption per capita is the highest in the European region but with notable differences between countries 3 and with a decreasing trend in Switzerland. 28 One likely explanation for the increasing ARLD-related cirrhosis is the increasing age of patients as supported by data showing that people over 65 in Switzerland had the heaviest proportion of daily drinking, without notable change from 1992 to 2017. 29 The determination of the NAFLD aetiology by exclusion could have conducted to an overdiagnosis of NAFLD.
