Abstract Background. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is an important clinical outcome in Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and is considered as a relevant indicator of treatment success. While a better understanding of the factors affecting HRQoL would enable to adjust patients’ care to favour treatment outcome, the determinants of HRQoL in AUD remain unclear. This study aims at describing HRQoL in AUD patients and at identifying its best predictors. Methods. We included 53 recently detoxified patients with severe AUD (sAUD) and 38 healthy controls (HC). They underwent a cognitive assessment and filled in questionnaires concerning socio-demographics, alcohol history, sleep quality, depression, anxiety and impulsivity. Additionally, a HRQoL questionnaire especially designed for AUD patients (Alcohol Quality of Life Scale; AQoLS) was used.Results. sAUD patients reported that alcohol affects their HRQoL mainly in the “negative emotions”, “control”, “relationships”, and “sleep” domains. Compared to HC, they were impaired on episodic memory, working memory, executive functions, and processing speed tasks. They also reported lower sleep quality, higher depression, anxiety and impulsivity. No association was found between AQoLS total score and socio-demographics, cognitive performance, or sleep quality in patients. We found a significant correlation between HRQoL and depression/anxiety as well as impulsivity. Anxiety and impulsivity were indeed the only significant predictors of HRQoL, explaining 47.7% of the variance. Conclusions. Anxiety and impulsivity are crucial determinants of HRQoL in recently detoxified sAUD patients. Since anxiety and impulsivity are frequent issues in addiction and especially in AUD, they should be particularly considered by clinicians to favour treatment outcomes.
