Alcohol use disorder increase the risk of physical harm, mental or social consequences for patients and others in the community. Studies on alcohol use disorder and associated factors among medical and surgical outpatients in Ethiopia are limited. Therefore, this study is meant to provide essential data on alcohol use disorder and associated factors among alcohol user medical and surgical outpatients to intervene in the future. An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted by using the systematic random sampling technique. Alcohol use disorders were assessed using the World Health Organization’s 10-item Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT) questionnaire. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed, a P-value less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant in the multivariate analysis and the strength of association was measured at a 95% confidence interval. The prevalence of alcohol use disorder was 34.5% with a 95% CI (29.20, 39.80) among study participants. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, male sex (AOR = 3.33, 95%CI: 1.40, 7.93), history of mental illness (AOR = 2.68, 95%CI: 1.12, 6.38), drinking for relaxation (AOR = 1.88, 95%CI: 1.02, 3.48) and history of lifetime tobacco use (AOR = 5.64, 95%CI: 1.95, 16.29) were factors significantly associated with alcohol use disorder. The prevalence of alcohol use disorders among medical and surgical outpatients was found to be high. Male sex, history of mental illness, alcohol use for relaxation and lifetime cigarette smoking need more attention during the assessment of patients in the medical and surgical outpatient departments.

埃塞俄比亚贡达专科医院内科和外科门诊患者的饮酒者对饮酒障碍及其相关因素的评估：一项横断面研究

饮酒障碍会增加患者和社区其他人遭受身体伤害，精神或社会后果的风险。埃塞俄比亚内科和外科门诊患者的酒精使用障碍和相关因素的研究是有限的。因此，本研究旨在提供有关酒精使用障碍和相关因素的基本数据，以供将来在酒精使用者的医疗和外科门诊患者中进行干预。通过使用系统随机抽样技术进行了基于机构的横断面研究。使用世界卫生组织的10项酒精使用障碍识别测试（AUDIT）调查表对酒精使用障碍进行了评估。进行了双变量和多元逻辑回归分析，P值小于0。在多变量分析中，05被认为具有统计学意义，并且在95％的置信区间内测量了关联强度。在研究参与者中，酒精使用障碍的患病率为34.5％，CI为95％（29.20，39.80）。在多因素logistic回归分析中，男性（AOR = 3.33，95％CI：1.40，7.93），精神病史（AOR = 2.68，95％CI：1.12，6.38），放松喝酒（AOR = 1.88，95） ％CI：1.02、3.48）和终身吸烟史（AOR = 5.64，95％CI：1.95、16.29）是与饮酒障碍显着相关的因素。发现内科和外科门诊患者的酒精使用障碍患病率很高。男性，有精神病史，
