Neighborhood Inequalities in Hepatitis C Mortality: Spatial and Temporal Patterns and Associated Factors

Abstract: Deaths attributable to hepatitis C (HCV) infection are increasing in the USA even as highly effective treatments become available. Neighborhood-level inequalities create barriers to care and treatment for many vulnerable populations. We seek to characterize citywide trends in HCV mortality rates over time and identify and describe neighborhoods in New York City (NYC) with disproportionately high rates and associated factors. We used a multiple cause of death (MCOD) definition for HCV mortality. Cases identifie… Show more

“…In the first case, all-cause mortality rates, including its spatial and temporal variability have been measured, using different levels of granularity [11,12,13,14,15]. Contrarily, several cause-specific mortality models have been developed for diseases such as cancer, diabetes, hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cardiovascular disease, hepatitis C and HIV/AIDS [16,12,15,17,18,19,20,21,22,6,23,24]. As an example of this approach, Dwyer-Lindgren et al (2017), studied the variations in life expectancy, mortality rates and years of life lost from 152 causes of death at the county and neighbourhood levels by age group and sex.…”

“…Previous spatial epidemiological research on HCV has focused on the spatial distribution of HCV, spatiotemporal distribution of HCV clusters, HCV‐related morbidity and mortality and HIV‐HCV co‐infection using a variety of spatial analytic methods. Although these studies have concentrated on characterizing HCV infection and hotspots, none of them have defined “core areas” per se for HCV infection.…”

“…O risco de morte está aumentado entre aqueles infectados pelo vírus da hepatite C principalmente devido a doenças relacionadas ao fígado, como cirrose hepática e carcinoma hepatocelular, que são condições associadas à morte prematura [71][72][73][74] Outros estudos realizados nos Estados Unidos da América em 2008, já haviam sugerido que a mortalidade geral apresentou-se moderadamente aumentada entre indivíduos com hepatite C e que grande parte do aumento dessa elevação foi devido a óbitos por trauma, suicídio, abuso de drogas e álcool 81,82 .…”

“…Unido, identificou que aqueles indivíduos infectados pelo HCV apresentaram quase duas vezes mais risco de morte do que a população geral70 . O hepatocarcinoma, bem como comportamentos de risco (usuários de drogas injetáveis, ingestão alcoólica) e condições sociais mostraram associação com as taxas de mortalidade representando importantes determinantes modificáveis nessa população70,74,80 .…”
