Chronic Liver Disease and Cirrhosis Mortality Rates Are Disproportionately Increasing in Younger Women in the United States Between 2000-2020
Previous studies show that mortality from chronic liver disease (CLD) and cirrhosis is increasing in the United States. However, there are limited data on sex-specific mortality trends by age, race, and geographical location. The aim of this study was to conduct a comprehensive time-trend analysis of liver disease–related mortality rates in the National Center of Health Statistics (NCHS) database.
