Abstract

Summary: Changes in the estimated proportion of liver cirrhosis deaths attributable to alcoholism in the United States from 1940 to 1980 are reviewed. The value of this proportion from 1940 in the original Jellinek Alcoholism Estimation Formula, through Formula modifications, to 1980 use are presented; the rationale for various changes in its value are discussed. Essex County, New Jersey, USA decedents in 1984, aged 25‐years or older, whose underlying cause of death was specified alcoholic cirrhosis and those who died of cirrhosis without mention of alcohol are analyzed for differences in background and post‐mortem characteristics. Some appreciable proportion of cirrhosis deaths without mention of alcohol is considered to be attributable to alcoholism. Background and post‐mortem differences between persons whose underlying cause of death is certified as cirrhosis with and without mention of alcohol suggest some bases for the under‐reporting of specified alcoholic cirrhosis mortality.

  • This under-reporting of alcoholic liver cirrhosis has persisted in later studies.

    “This under‐reporting of alcoholic liver cirrhosis has persisted in later studies 294, 295, 296; this seems to be the case for all disease categories fully attributable to alcohol use 296, 297 including, but not limited to, the disclosure of alcohol use disorders.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
