An unsupervised machine learning analysis of biopsychosocial characteristics and treatment outcome of alcohol use disorder
Background: Alcohol Use Disorder is a heterogeneous condition where standard severity measures often fail to predict individual treatment responses. Precision medicine requires identifying distinct biopsychosocial profiles to guide targeted interventions.Objectives: To identify clinically meaningful Alcohol Use Disorder profiles using k-means clustering based on eight baseline biopsychosocial variables and validate their prognostic utility by comparing treatment outcomes.Methods: A retrospective observational st…
K-means clustering of eight biopsychosocial variables identified three distinct AUD profiles that predicted 3-month abstinence, with Late-Onset achieving 65.8% abstinence, supporting stratified front-loaded intervention.
Patients classified as Severe profile with early onset, 73.3% co-occurring psychiatric conditions and intense craving had poorer 3-month outcomes with only 36.7% abstinence and steep return to use.
Single-center retrospective design with 102 patients at a tertiary care center in India limits generalizability and causal inference for broader AUD populations.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0687 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
