HIGHLIGHTS 

This surveillance report, published by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and 

Alcoholism (NIAAA), presents trends in liver cirrhosis mortality in the United States. Data on 

the underlying cause of death were compiled from public use data tapes published annually 

by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). Population data provided by the U.S. 

Census Bureau are used as denominators to calculate mortality rates. 

Overall cirrhosis mortality in the United States increased steadily following the end of 

Prohibition in 1933 until 1973, when the age-adjusted death rate peaked at 18.1 deaths per 

100,000 population. Cirrhosis mortality then began an almost steady decline that has 

continued throughout the last four decades. The following are highlights of liver cirrhosis 

mortality trends from the early 1970s through 2007, the most recent year for which data are 

available. 

Cirrhosis Mortality in 2007 

• In 2007 liver cirrhosis was the 12th leading cause of death in the United States, with a 

total of 29,925 deaths—1,732 more than in 2006. The crude death rate from all cirrhosis 

increased by 5.3 percent from 2006 to 2007, whereas the rate from alcohol-related 

cirrhosis increased by 9.1 percent. These unusually big increases may be largely due to 

coding changes in assigning cause of death (for details see the section “Definitions and 

Subclassifications of Liver Cirrhosis”). 

• Among all cirrhosis deaths in 2007, 48.1 percent were alcohol-related. The proportion of 

alcohol-related cirrhosis was highest (70.6 percent) among decedents aged 25 to 34. 

• The age-adjusted death rate from all cirrhosis for Hispanic White males was 1.7 times 

the rate for non-Hispanic White males and 1.8 times the rate for non-Hispanic Black 

males. The rate for Hispanic White females was 1.4 times the rate for non-Hispanic 

White females and 1.8 times the rate for non-Hispanic Black females. 

• Wide variations existed across Hispanic subgroups; the 5-year annual average of ageadjusted death rates from all cirrhosis was highest for Mexicans and Puerto Ricans and 

lowest for Cubans, among both males and females. 

Cirrhosis Mortality Trends 

• While the age-adjusted all-cause mortality rate declined by 37.8 percent from 1970 to 

2007, the age-adjusted death rate from all liver cirrhosis declined for the same period by 

47.8 percent, from 17.8 to 9.3 deaths per 100,000 population. Rates for White males, 

Black males, White females, and Black females declined by 43.2, 70.1, 40.2, and 76.5 

percent, respectively. 

• The age-adjusted death rate from all liver cirrhosis for males was consistently more than 

twice the rate for females, regardless of race. 

• The age-adjusted death rate from alcohol-related liver cirrhosis declined by 28.6 

percent, from 6.3 deaths per 100,000 population in 1970 to 4.5 deaths per 100,000 

population in 2007. Rates for White males, Black males, White females, and Black 

females declined by 16.5, 67.6, 22.6, and 77.2 percent, respectively. 

Healthy People 2010 Objectives 

• One of the Healthy People 2010 objectives is to reduce liver cirrhosis mortality to no 

more than 3.2 deaths per 100,000 population. To achieve this goal, the age-adjusted 

death rates from cirrhosis must decrease by 30 percent per year from 2008 through 

2010.

INTRODUCTION 

This surveillance report on liver cirrhosis is 

one of a series of four reports published annually 

to monitor trends in alcohol consumption and 

alcohol-related morbidity and mortality in the 

United States. These surveillance reports are 

prepared by the Alcohol Epidemiologic Data 

System (AEDS), Division of Epidemiology and 

Prevention Research, NIAAA, and are intended 

to be useful to researchers, policymakers, and 

other professionals interested in alcohol abuse 

and its long-term effects. The data also are 

essential in assessing progress toward meeting 

the Nation’s health promotion and disease 

prevention objective of reducing liver cirrhosis 

mortality, as stated in Healthy People 2010 

(Department of Health and Human Services 

[HHS] 2000). 

Cirrhosis of the liver is an outcome with a 

variety of causes, including alcohol 

consumption, exposure to various drugs and 

toxic chemicals, viral hepatitis, and other viral 

and infectious diseases (Dufour et al. 1993). It 

has been well established that alcohol 

consumption is a major contributor to deaths 

from cirrhosis and the related condition of 

alcoholic hepatitis (Mann et al. 2003). 

The level and duration of alcohol 

consumption are important determinants in the 

development of liver pathology. As the primary 

site for detoxification of alcohol by oxidation of 

its metabolites, the liver can undergo three 

pathologies: fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, and 

cirrhosis. The prognosis for patients with cirrhosis 

is highly unpredictable. Although some patients 

can benefit from a liver transplant, at present, no 

method exists for repairing liver damage 

associated with cirrhosis. However, the 

consequences of this disease can be treated, and 

life can be prolonged, if patients with cirrhosis 

resulting from alcohol consumption abstain from 

further alcohol use. Thus, early detection and 

prevention of further damage are important in 

prolonging life. 

The coding scheme used in the United 

States to classify cause of death is the 

International Classification of Diseases (ICD), 

a statistical classification of disease and injury 

widely used by countries supporting mortality 

reporting systems. ICD codes classify the cause 

of death from cirrhosis as either related to 

alcohol or not related to alcohol. Because of 

the stigma associated with excessive alcohol 

use, physicians and other officials who certify 

causes of death may not identify alcohol in the 

case of a death from cirrhosis in an effort to 

protect family members. From 1970 to 2007, 

the proportion of all cirrhosis deaths coded as 

alcohol-related ranged from 36 to 48 percent 

(depending on year), even though some 

researchers believe alcohol might have 

contributed to a substantially higher proportion 

of all deaths from cirrhosis (Haberman and 

Weinbaum 1990; Powell and Klatskin 1968). 

For this reason, this surveillance report 

examines all cirrhosis deaths, as well as those 

that are explicitly coded as alcohol-related. 

DATA AND MEASURES 

Sources and Limitations of Data 

Death counts and rates in this report are 

based on a single underlying cause for each 

death, defined as “the disease or injury which 

initiated the train of morbid events leading 

directly or indirectly to death or circumstances 

of the accident or violence which produced 

the fatal injury” (NCHS 1982). This approach 

is consistent with other mortality statistics 

reported by NCHS. 

Cirrhosis death records for 1970–2007 

were extracted from public use mortality data 

files produced by NCHS. With the exception 

of data files for 1972, these files contain 

individual records for each death occurring in 

the United States, and in 1972 the files 

contained a 50-percent sample of all U.S. 

deaths. The deaths counted in this report are 

for U.S. residents only. Deaths of foreign 

residents in the United States are not counted. 

2
Prior to the current (2010) issue of this report, 

historical cirrhosis mortality rates (presented in 

Figure 1 and Table 1) for years 1910–1969 were 

calculated based on age-specific death rates from 

an NIAAA data reference manual on cirrhosis 

mortality (NIAAA 1985). However, the agespecific death rates for ages younger than 25 

were indirectly derived due to the lack of data 

for the young age segment in that publication. In 

the current issue, the historical data are 

recalculated based on original historical 

government documents that NCHS recently 

made available on the Internet. For years 1920–

1969, the data sources included the annual 

reports of the Mortality Statistics (Bureau of the 

Census 1922–1938) and Vital Statistics in the 

United States (Bureau of the Census 1939–1946; 

National Office of Vital Statistics 1947–1951, 

1953–1960; National Center for Health Statistics, 

1961–1974). For years 1910–1919, the data 

sources included the National Office of Vital 

Statistics special report (1956) and intercensal 

resident population estimates in death 

registration States developed by the Bureau of 

the Census and presented in Linder and Grove 

(1943). The recalculation did not result in any 

substantial changes in the historical trends. 

However, it filled in a few missing dots in the 

trend lines for the early years, and made slight 

modifications in the historical cirrhosis death 

rates. Note that all historical mortality statistics 

were based on numbers obtained through State 

death registration offices. Before 1933 not all 

States collected death registration information. 

The changing number of death registration States 

impedes the process of obtaining comparable 

mortality data for the United States prior to 1933. 

Population data by race and Hispanic origin 

from 2000–2007 came from bridged-race 

vintage postcensal estimates of the resident 

population of the United States, developed for 

NCHS by the U.S. Census Bureau (NCHS 

2003b, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009). 

Population data for years 1990 through 1999 

came from bridged-race intercensal resident 

population estimates developed for NCHS by the 

U.S. Census Bureau (NCHS 2003a). 

Population data for 1970–1989 came from 

estimates developed for the National Cancer 

Institute (NCI) by the U.S. Census Bureau 

(NCI 2002). Population data for 1910–1969 

came from intercensal resident population 

estimates developed by the U.S. Census 

Bureau (Lindner and Grove 1943; Grove and 

Hetzel 1968; Bureau of the Census 1965, 

1968, 1969, 1970). 

 Hispanic subgroup population data were 

taken from estimates based on the Current 

Population Survey (CPS) prepared by the 

U.S. Census Bureau for NCHS (Arias et al. 

2003; Hoyert et al. 2006; Kochanek et al. 

2004; Miniño et al. 2002; Miniño et al. 2007; 

Xu et al. 2010). The CPS population estimates 

were adjusted to resident Hispanic population 

control totals (i.e., the year 2000-based 

population estimates for the respective 

subpopulations in the United States for July 1 

of each year). 

Definitions and Subclassifications 

of Liver Cirrhosis 

During the period for which mortality 

statistics are shown in this report, cause of 

death was classified according to nine 

different revisions of the ICD. The ICD has 

been revised periodically to reflect progress in 

medical knowledge, with later revisions 

generally providing greater specificity of 

coding. 

The eighth (NCHS 1968), ninth (World 

Health Organization [WHO] 1978), and tenth 

(WHO 1992) revisions of the ICD (ICD-8, 

ICD-9, and ICD-10, implemented in 1968, 

1979, and 1999, respectively) provide for 

coding categories of cirrhosis with and 

without mention of alcohol. ICD-9 uses 

different categories for cirrhosis than did 

ICDA-8. ICD-10 uses twice as many 

categories for cirrhosis as did ICD-9. To 

examine trends for comparable diseases from 

1970–2007, ICD-9 and ICD-10 categories 

must be matched and recoded to those 

3
4

consistent with ICDA-8 categories. The relevant 

crosswalk of the three ICD revisions, developed 

by AEDS staff in collaboration with NIAAA’s 

former Division of Biometry and Epidemiology 

(DBE), is shown in the table on the next page. 

As can be seen under ICD-10, AEDS includes 

portal hypertension (ICD code K76.6) and 

change of fatty liver not elsewhere classified 

(n.e.c.) (ICD code K76.0) among cirrhosis 

categories. Because NCHS counts only ICD 

codes K70, K73, and K74 as liver cirrhosis, 

AEDS numbers are slightly larger than those 

reported by NCHS. 

With the introduction of ICD-10 for 1999 

data came changes in rules for selecting the 

underlying cause of death and new categories. 

These new rules and categories may contribute to 

observed changes in the number of deaths from 

liver cirrhosis. Anderson et al. (2001) conducted 

a comparability study which estimated that the 

use of ICD-10 would classify an additional 3.67 

percent of deaths as due to cirrhosis when 

compared with ICD-9. Readers should keep this 

in mind when examining trends involving data 

from 1999 and later years. In addition, NCHS 

implemented coding changes in data for 2007, 

which resulted in more deaths being assigned to 

alcoholic liver disease (ICD-10 code K70). 

Therefore, the unusually big increase in cirrhosis 

deaths observed from 2006 to 2007 may be 

largely due to the coding changes (Xu et al. 

2010). 

Race or Ethnicity of Decedent 

Data are presented in this report by White and 

Black race categories, with other races such as 

American Indian/Alaska Native and Asian/ 

Pacific Islander included in the “all races” 

category but not shown separately. Beginning in 

2003, multiple race reporting was implemented 

in 7 States (California, Idaho, Montana, New 

York, Hawaii, Maine, and Wisconsin), while the 

remaining 43 States and the District of Columbia 

allowed only a single race to be reported. To 

make the data uniform and comparable, NCHS 

“bridged” reported multiple race to single race. 

In this effort, multiracial decedents were 

imputed with a single race according to the 

combination of races, Hispanic origin, sex, 

and age indicated on their death certificates. 

The imputation procedure is described in 

detail at: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/dvs/ 

Multiple_race_docu_5-10-04.pdf. 

Vital statistics data also provide 

information on the ethnicity of decedents (i.e., 

Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or 

South American, other or unknown Hispanic, 

or non-Hispanic). In this report, trend data by 

Hispanic origin were presented for the years 

1991 and later because, prior to 1991, 

substantial proportions of decedents were 

missing ethnic identification, and Hispanic 

origin measures were not usable. From 1991 

through 2007, the percentage of cirrhosis 

deaths with Hispanic origin unknown was less 

than 2 percent for both Black and White 

decedents. In 2007, only 0.2 percent of 

cirrhosis decedents had an “unknown” 

classification for Hispanic origin. The tables 

and figures showing data based on Hispanic 

origin excluded decedents for whom Hispanic 

origin could not be determined. Readers are 

cautioned that rates calculated for Black 

Hispanics are unreliable because of the small 

number of cirrhosis deaths in this population 

subgroup. 

After a continuous, rapid population 

growth over the past few decades, Hispanics 

became the largest minority group in the 

United States in 2003. While Hispanics often 

are considered one ethnic group, they are 

well-known for heterogeneity by country of 

origin in terms of socioeconomic status and 

drinking patterns, which may well affect 

cirrhosis mortality. To provide information on 

Hispanic subgroup differences, beginning with 

the 2007 issue, this report presents additional 

data on cirrhosis death rates for four major 

Hispanic subgroups, namely Mexicans, 

Puerto Ricans, Cubans, and Other Hispanics.

METHODS 

Statements of disease frequency, expressed as 

the number of deaths due to liver cirrhosis, have 

little epidemiologic usefulness because such 

information permits neither comparisons of 

mortality among various population subgroups 

nor the description of trends over time. For 

epidemiologic purposes, death rates are used to 

compare the frequency of death from a disease 

or condition. The following measures of disease 

frequency are used in this report to assess trends 

in liver cirrhosis mortality: 

• Unadjusted (or crude) death rates—These 

are summary measures calculated by 

dividing the total number of deaths due to 

cirrhosis (or subcategories) in the population 

in a certain year by the total number of 

individuals in that population in that year 

(i.e., population at risk). Problems can arise 

when comparing crude rates between 

various years to assess any change in 

mortality over time because the populations 

at risk may differ with respect to an 

underlying characteristic such as age, race, 

or sex. For example, an older population 

tends to have a higher rate of death for a 

5
target disease than a younger population 

because death from disease is more common in 

an aging population. In this case, rates in 

different populations should be assessed by 

comparing age-specific rates or age-adjusted 

rates. 

• Age-specific death rates—These rates for any 

year refer to the number of deaths due to liver 

cirrhosis (or subcategories) in a defined age 

interval, divided by the total number of 

persons in that age interval. For a given age 

interval, examining age-specific rates for 

various years allows comparison of mortality 

rates among subgroups of the population that 

do not differ in their age distribution. Agespecific rates also provide a basis for detailed 

study of the variation of mortality rates 

among different age intervals in any single 

year. 

• Age-adjusted death rates—These are 

statistically constructed summary rates that 

account for differences in mortality regardless 

of any difference in the age distribution 

between populations. Age adjustment 

assumes that populations have the same age 

distribution and applies a standard age 

distribution to calculate age-adjusted rates for 

various populations. Therefore, when 

comparing age-adjusted rates of two 

populations, any differences between the rates 

can no longer be due to the difference in the 

age distribution between the two populations. 

Age adjustment is crucial for standardizing 

rates over many years because the U.S. 

population has grown progressively older in 

recent decades. Without age adjustment, any 

apparent increases in unadjusted mortality 

rates for cirrhosis (or any other disease) could 

be caused by the fact that older people are 

more likely to die from disease. 

According to the requirement of the U.S. 

Department of Health and Human Services 

(1998), this report applies the year 2000 standard 

population in calculations of all age-adjusted 

death rates (replacing the 1940 standard 

population used in issues published before 

2002).1

Age-adjusted death rates presented in this 

report were computed by using 10-year age 

intervals of the enumerated population of the 

United States in 2000 as the standard 

population. Results from the age adjustment 

allow for meaningful comparison of similar 

rates over long periods of time or from 

different subpopulations. The basic procedure 

involves finding the expected number of 

deaths that would have existed if the agespecific rates for a particular year prevailed in 

a population whose age distribution was like 

that of the United States in 2000. This was 

accomplished by multiplying the specific 

rates for each age group by the population for 

the corresponding age group in the standard 

population. The age-adjusted mortality rate 

was then calculated by adding the expected 

deaths for each age group and dividing this 

sum by the total population taken as the 

standard. 

Rates for Hispanic subgroups are based on 

5-year annual moving averages in order to 

increase the reliability of these estimates. 

Because the population data for these groups 

were drawn from the Current Population 

Survey, readers are cautioned that the rates 

are subject to sampling variability in the 

denominator as well as random fluctuations in 

the numerator.

2 Excludes deaths for which Hispanic origin was unknown and all 1991 through 1996 deaths from Oklahoma and New Hampshire where His

more than 90 percent of all cirrhosis deaths. 

3 Includes deaths for which age of decedent was unknown; age-specific numbers of deaths may not sum to total. 4 Deaths based on a 50-percent sample. 5 Rates are not reliable due to the small number of cirrhosis deaths among Hispanic Blacks.
