To establish the hospital visit history of patients who die with alcohol-related liver disease (ArLD). To determine if patients with ArLD present to hospital early or in the terminal phase of their disease. ⋯ Most patients with ArLD have multiple early attendances, which present an opportunity for early interventions.
