Neural
IBT is associated with a 41% lower risk of initiation of medications for alcohol use disorder (MAUDs) compared to non-IBT AOMs.
IBT may be a beneficial option for reducing the need for MAUDs in post-bariatric surgery patients.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Use of IBT was also associated with a lower incidence of initiating MAUDs (15.2 vs 25.6 per 1000 person-years) and a lower hazard of MAUD initiation (HR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.46-0.75; P < .001).
