* Rates per 100,000 population computed by the direct method, using as
the standard population the age distribution of the total population
of the United States as enumerated in 1940.
** ICD codes in this table are from ICDA-8. The United States moved from
ICDA-8 to ICD-9 coding beginning in 1979. For comparability over the
dates shown in this table, ICD-9 codes have been recoded to their ICDA-8
values. ICDA-8 codes translate to ICD-9 codes as follows:
ICDA-8 - Alcohol-related liver cirrhosis (571.0)
ICD-9 - Alcoholic fatty liver (571.0)
ICD-9 - Acute alcoholic hepatitis (571.1)
ICD-9 - Alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver (571.2)
ICD-9 - Alcoholic liver damage, unspecified (572.3)
ICDA-8 - Specified liver cirrhosis without mention of alcohol (571.8)
ICD-9 - Chronic hepatitis (571.4)
ICD-9 - Biliary cirrhosis (571.6)
ICD-9 - Other chronic nonalcoholic liver disease (571.8)
ICD-9 - Portal hypertension (572.3)
ICDA-8 - Unspecified liver cirrhosis without mention of alcohol (571.9)
ICD-9 - Cirrhosis of the liver without mention of alcohol (571.5)
ICD-9 - Unspecified chronic liver disease without mention of alcohol
(571.9)
