Source: CDC, National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Provisional Multiple Cause of Death on CDC WONDER Online Database. Data are based on information from all death certificates filed in the vital records offices of the 50 states and the District of Columbia through the Vital Statistics Cooperative Program. Deaths of nonresidents (for example, nonresident aliens, nationals living abroad, residents of Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, and other US territories) and fetal deaths are excluded. Accessed at CDC Wonder on November 12, 2023. CDC WONDER data set documentation and technical methods can be accessed here.

* Rates are age-adjusted per 100,000 US standard population during 2000 by using the following age group distribution (in years): <1, 1–4, 5–14, 15–24, 25–34, 35–44, 45–54, 55–64, 65–74, 75–84, and ≥85. For age-adjusted death rates, the age-specific death rate is rounded to one decimal place before proceeding to the next step in the calculation of age-adjusted death rates for NCHS Multiple Cause of Death on CDC WONDER. This rounding step might affect the precision of rates calculated for small numbers of deaths. Missing data are not included.

† Cause of death is defined as one of the multiple causes of death and is based on the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) codes B16, B17.0, B18.0, B18.1 (hepatitis B).

UR: Unreliable rate. Rates where death counts were less than 20 were not displayed because of the instability associated with those rates.

S: Suppressed. Subnational data representing less than 10 deaths (0–9) are suppressed or CDC WONDER did not have the functionality to calculate rates.

Summary

Hepatitis B is associated with premature death, elevated rates of death from all causes, and elevated rates of death from liver-related causes, including hepatocellular carcinoma. Among jurisdictions with death rates available, the highest hepatitis B-related death rate was observed in Hawaii (1.05 deaths per 100,000 population). In total, 15 states had hepatitis B-related death rates higher than the national rate (0.44 deaths per 100,000 population).
