Descrição: Aims: Alcohol use disorders (AUDs) are associated with high risk of comorbidities and excess use of social and healthcare services. We examined health service use (HSU) frequencies of patients with AUD in comparison to those with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Design: A random sample of individuals with AUD (n = 396) were identified based on ICD-10 codes and HSU patterns, morbidity and mortality were compared with age- and gender-matched T2DM controls (n = 792) using logistic regression analysis. Six years (2011–2016) of electronic health record (EHR) data from the North Karelia district in Finland were used. Results: Similarities in comorbidity patterns existed, although mental health comorbidity (odds ratio [OR] 1.86) was more prevalent in the AUD group. The average annual HSU varied according to the groups: T2DM patients had more continuous contact with public health nurses in primary care, whereas AUD patients were more likely to experience somatic specialised care hospitalisations (OR 11.30) and have frequent somatic primary healthcare doctor visits (OR 3.30) and frequent emergency room doctor visits in specialised care (OR 8.89). Furthermore, patients with AUD had a 7.5 times higher risk of death compared with T2DM patients. Conclusions: This study identified rather similar comorbidity status for the AUD and T2DM patients, but their HSU patterns differed noticeably. AUD patients had higher frequencies of hospitalisation periods and emergency service use and were at a higher risk of death compared with T2DM patients, indicating greater challenges in the organisation of care for AUD patients compared with those having T2DM.
