Popis: Abstract Background Alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) and cardiovascular diseases share some common risk factors. This study aims to investigate the associations between Life’s Essential 8 (LE8), a comprehensive measure of cardiovascular health (CVH), and outcomes of ALD. Methods Data were obtained from the 2011–2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Cox proportional hazards models were employed to assess the relationships between LE8 and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with ALD. Additionally, restricted cubic splines (RCS), piecewise regression, and subgroup analyses were conducted. Results A total of 5321 ALD patients were included in this study with a mean LE8 score of 67.38. During a median follow-up period of 63 months, 228 all-cause deaths were recorded. After adjusting for potential confounders, the risk of all-cause mortality in the high CVH group decreased by 53.7% compared to the low CVH group (HR = 0.463, 95%CI = 0.223–0.965). The result was robust in subgroup analyses. The RCS analysis indicated a non-linear relationship between LE8 and cardiovascular mortality, showing that the risk of cardiovascular mortality decreased with increasing LE8 scores for values below 71.12 (HR = 0.949, 95% CI = 0.915–0.984). Conclusions LE8 score is inversely and linearly linked to all-cause mortality in ALD patients. Promoting adherence to optimal cardiovascular health may unveil additional strategies for the effective management of ALD patients and contribute to reducing their long-term mortality.
