TL;DR: Correlates of alcohol use remain under-investigated in solid organ transplant recipients other than liver transplantation, and further research is needed to determine whether any alcohol use or at-risk drinking is associated with poorer post-transplant outcomes.

Tracy R. Glass,Jonathan A C Sterne,Marie Paule Schneider,Sabina De Geest,Dunja Nicca,Hansjakob Furrer,Huldrych F. Günthard,Enos Bernasconi,Alexandra Calmy,Martin Rickenbach,Manuel Battegay,Heiner C. Bucher +11 more
TL;DR: Self-report of two or more missed doses of ART is associated with an increased risk of both viral failure and death, and a simple adherence question helps identify patients at risk for negative clinical outcomes and offers opportunities for intervention.

Validity, reliability and responsiveness of the "Schedule for the Evaluation of Individual Quality of Life – Direct Weighting" (SEIQoL-DW) in congenital heart disease
