Background: CIWA-Ar score is the gold standard for stratifying severity of alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS).Aim: To identify the correlation between the different scales used in patients with AWS, and with the biochemical–haematological profile.Material and methods: Prospective, analytical observational study in 49 patients with AWS diagnosed between February 2011 and July 2012. Maddrey, Glasgow, MELD, CIWA-Ar scores and laboratory values were obtained at diagnosis.Results: There was no correlation between CIWA-Ar and other scales (R2 = 0.001, p = 0.823, 95%CI); however, a linear relationship (p = 0.000, 95%CI) was found. On the correlation matrix, CIWA-Ar was not associated with any of the study parameters. There were no significant differences in length of stay when analyzed by type of treatment.Conclusion: CIWA-Ar is a good predictor of severity, albeit with no biochemical or hematic correlation
