Alcohol consumption has substantially increased during the COVID-19 pandemic; however, the impact on the already increasing burden of alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) is unknown. We examined national changes in waiting list registration and liver transplantation for ALD and the association with alcohol sales during the COVID-19 pandemic. We hypothesized that waiting list registrations and deceased donor liver transplants (DDLTs) for alcoholic hepatitis (AH), which can develop after a short period of alcohol misuse, would disproportionately rise.
