EtOH with LI, alcohol drinkers with liver injury; EtOH w/o LI, alcohol drinkers without liver injury; ICU, intensive care unit; no EtOH, non-drinkers. Data are presented as mean ± SD unless stated otherwise. Exact p-value of a: EtOH with LI vs. no EtOH, b: EtOH w/o LI vs. no EtOH, and c: EtOH with LI vs. EtOH w/o LI.
