Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Purpose of Review: This review provides a brief overview of key concepts in addiction medicine and provides tips and tricks as it pertains to treating patients with alcohol addiction in the setting of advanced alcohol-related liver disease (ALD). Recent Findings: Understanding the brain disease model of addiction by both providers and patients is a vital springboard for establishing a therapeutic relationship. Despite a paucity of high-quality evidence, psychosocial treatments have withstood the test of time and still form the foundation of alcohol use disorder (AUD) treatment in advanced ALD. Despite the inescapable link between AUD) and advanced ALD, there are no FDA-approved medications for use in this special population. In this urgent subgroup, only baclofen, used off-label, has been shown to be effective for AUD in randomized controlled trials. Summary: An integrated, multidisciplinary and longitudinal approach remains the best option for the management of AUD in advanced ALD.
