      ab: Aims: Our study aimed to a) describe the distribution of hospital discharges with primary and secondary alcohol‐specific diagnoses by sex and age group, and b) describe how the number of hospital discharges with primary and secondary alcohol‐specific diagnoses have changed across different diagnostic groups (categorized by primary International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision [ICD‐10] diagnosis) over time. Design: Retrospective cross‐sectional analysis. Setting: German hospital settings between 2012 and 2021. Participants: All persons aged 15–69 admitted to hospitals as registered in a nationwide data set. Measurements We counted a) the number of all hospital discharges and b) the number of hospital discharges with at least one alcohol‐specific secondary diagnosis (secondary alcohol‐specific diagnosis) by year, sex, age group, and diagnostic group. One diagnostic group included all primary alcohol‐specific diagnoses, while 13 additional groups aligned with ICD‐10 chapters (e.g., neoplasms). Alcohol‐involvement was defined as either a primary or secondary alcohol‐specific diagnosis. Findings Of 95 417 204 recorded hospital discharges between 2012 and 2021, 3 828 917 discharges (4.0%; 2 913 903 men (6.4%); 915 014 women (1.8%)) involved either a primary or at least one secondary diagnosis related to alcohol. Of all alcohol‐involved hospital discharges, 56.8% (1 654 736 discharges) had no primary but only a secondary alcohol‐specific diagnosis. Secondary alcohol‐specific diagnoses were particularly prevalent in hospital discharges due to injuries. With rising age, alcohol‐involvement in hospital discharges due to digestive or cardiovascular diseases increased. Between 2012 and 2021, the rate of alcohol‐involved hospital discharges has decreased more in younger as compared with older adults (average change between 2012 and 2021: 15–24: −55%; 25–34: −41%; 35–44: −23%; 45–54: −31%; 55–64: −21%; 65–69: −8%). Conclusions: The number of alcohol‐involved hospital discharges in Germany from 2012 to 2021 more than doubles (from 1 654 736 to 3 828 917) when including secondary alcohol‐specific diagnoses. More pronounced declines among younger adults may be attributed to unequal changes in alcohol consumption patterns across the population and to the hazardous effects of long‐term alcohol use.
