BACKGROUND: @entity31 ( @entity31 ) and @entity30 ( @entity30 ) can both result in disease-related mortality. The aim of the present study was to analyze the comorbid medical conditions that contribute to @entity204 of @entity1 with @entity32 . METHODS: The United States' vital statistics offer the opportunity to study causes of @entity204 broken down by primary and contributing secondary conditions. Deaths from @entity31 and @entity30 were retrieved from the 1991-1996 data files of the National Center for Health Statistics. The strengths of individual associations between each comorbid condition and @entity31 or @entity30 were expressed as proportional mortality ratios, adjusted to the age-, gender-, and race-distribution of the general population. RESULTS: Deaths from @entity31 and @entity30 were found to be associated with a similar set of comorbid conditions and complications. Shock, volume depletion, protein/calorie @entity3147 , and @entity417 were the most frequent comorbid conditions in the group of nutritional, fluid, and electrolyte disturbances. Both diseases were frequently associated with @entity298 and @entity295 . Lastly, a large number of @entity204 were associated with complications following medical and surgical interventions. CONCLUSIONS: Deaths due to @entity29 appear to be related to complications from multiple medical interventions and surgical procedures. In managing @entity29 , the physician must keep in mind the potential for complications that may be associated with aggressive treatment.
