Objectives: To identify the trajectory of physical aggravation in patients with alcohol-related disorders and to examine the impact of psychiatric visits on health status of these patients. Methods: To identify the aggravation trajectory, we conducted a network analysis of medical departments based on the severity of alco- hol-related disorders and compared health metrics depending on whether psychiatric treatment was administered. Results: The analysis revealed that the emergency department had the highest degree of centrality in the network and that the group of patients who visited the emergency department, gastroenterology, and psychiatry showed a greater potential for improvement in key health metrics compared to those who did not. Additionally, the network analysis based on the severity of alcohol-related disor- ders indicated that intensive management was required for patients with alcohol-induced acute pancreatitis in early stages. In ad- vanced stages, patients with hepatitis due to alcohol-related disease without the development of ascites needed focused care. Conclusion: To treat alcohol-related disorders, it is essential to establishing step-by-step priorities for major diseases, implementing fo- cused management, and actively promoting psychiatric consultations for patients with alcohol use disorders.
