“…Demais doenças do aparelho circulatório 33 . Ao avaliar as causas mencionadas na DO, quando a asma foi classificada como causa bási-ca no primeiro e último triênios, observou-se que as doenças mais assinaladas eram as do aparelho respiratório, seguidas das doenças do aparelho circulatório.…”

“…É necessário destacar que, apesar de o estudo de associações de causas ser importante na aná-lise por causas múltiplas, a mensuração destas associações ainda não foi padronizada, e vários estudos utilizaram diferentes metodologias. Israel et al 33 enfatizaram a complexidade do estudo de associação de causas na análise de causas múltiplas, apontando a necessidade de pesquisas adicionais.…”

“…We used the record axis format, which applies an algorithm to what the physician enters on the death certificate, to determine the underlying cause of death, conditions contributing to death, and relative importance of these conditions. 7,8 This format applies standard criteria to define the underlying cause of death and to improve the internal consistency of each certificate.…”

Chronic liver disease mortality in the United States, 1990-1998

In 1998, chronic liver disease (CLD) was the tenth leading cause of death in the U.S. Alcohol and hepatitis C are thought to be important etiologies. However, traditional methods for calculating CLD mortality rates from death certificates may underestimate hepatitis Crelated CLD mortality. We studied patterns of CLD deaths reported from 1990 through 1998, using an expanded definition that included death certificates where CLD, viral hepatitis, or CLD-related sequelae were reported as the underlying cause. We calculated overall age-specific and age-adjusted mortality rates, and according to demographic characteristics and recorded causes, and evaluated trends using linear regression modeling. CLD mortality declined 5% overall from 1990 through 1994 (12.1 to 11.6/100,000; P ‫؍‬ 0.002), but remained unchanged from 1995 through 1998 (P ‫؍‬ 0.366). Decreases were similar for all causes except hepatitis C, for which rates increased 220% from 1993 to 1998 (0.57 to 1.67/100,000). Rates declined in all racial-ethnic groups except American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN), among whom rates were unchanged. Of 30,933 CLD deaths in 1998, 39% were coded as alcohol related, 15% as hepatitis C, 4% as hepatitis B, and 44% had no recorded cause. Age-adjusted rates were higher among males (47.6/100,000) than females (32.2/100,000) and among Hispanics (19.1/100,000) compared with non-Hispanics (10.8/ 100,000). Rates among AI/AN (28.7/100,000) were more than twice those of African Americans and whites (12.9/100,000 and 11.5/100,000, respectively). In conclusion, 1998 CLD deaths and the proportion attributable to viral hepatitis increased by 23% and 19%, respectively, compared with traditional methods. Mortality declines of the early 1990s were not sustained after 1994. Large disparities in CLD mortality remain, particularly among Amer-

“…The most recent year for which multiple cause-of-death data are now available is 1998. Cause-of-death classifications were based on the Revision of the Eighth International Classification of Diseases (ICD-8) for deaths occurring during 1968-1978 and the Ninth Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9) for those occurring during 1979-1998 [14][15][16][17][18]. Hemophilia A deaths were defined as those in which any condition included in code 286.0 (hemophilia: antihemophilic globulin deficiency, factor VIII deficiency, hemophilia [familial] [hereditary], or hemophilia A, for ICD-8; and congenital factor VIII disorder: antihemophilic globulin deficiency, factor VIII [functional] deficiency, hemophilia, hemophilia A, classical hemophilia, familial hemophilia, hereditary hemophilia, or subhemophilia, for ICD-9) was listed anywhere on the death record.…”
