Análisis de la tendencia de la mortalidad por cirrosis hepática en Chile: Años 1990 a 2007
Open accessAbstract
Mortality trend from liver cirrhosis in Chile from 1990 to 2007Background: There is a worldwide tendency towards a reduction in the rates of deaths due to cirrhosis.In Chile, a decrease in the number of hospital admissions due to this disease has been recorded.Aim: To assess general characteristics and temporal evolution of liver cirrhosis mortality in Chile between 1990 and 2007.Material and Methods: National death records and population databases were reviewed.Crude and age-adjusted mortality rates for alcoholic and non-alcoholic cirrhosis were calculated, evaluating their evolution in the study period and the relative risk by gender.Results: In the study period, 44,894 deaths caused by cirrhosis were recorded.Mortality rate was 16.6 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants.54% of deaths were attributed to non-alcoholic cirrhosis.There was a reduction in mortality rates for both types of cirrhosis.Males accounted for 83 and 65% of deaths caused by alcoholic and nonalcoholic cirrhosis, respectively.The figures for relative risk of death were 5 and 1.9, respectively.Conclusions: Alcoholic cirrhosis was the preponderant cause among liver cirrhosis deaths.A decrease in mortality rates was observed in the study period.Improvements in disease treatment and control could possibly explain this trend.

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.
