Chronic liver disease death (excluding liver cancer) was defined as death from nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases, liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, alcoholic liver diseases, and chronic hepatitis (ICD-9: 571; ICD-10: K70, K73, and K74).15 Overall, 95.6% of causes of death were determined either...
The proportion of hospitalizations of patients with hepatitis C virus was similar throughout the period of study (31.6% [95% CI, 31.3%-31.9%]), and the proportion with alcoholic cirrhosis and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease showed increases. The mortality rate was higher among hospitalizations ...
Coffee intake is associated with reduced risk of liver cancer and chronic liver disease as reported in previous studies, including prospective ones conducted in Asian populations where hepatitis B viruses (HBVs) and hepatitis C viruses (HCVs) are the dominant risk factors. Yet, prospective studies ...
