Crude and Age-Adjusted Death Rates for Hyperglycemic Crises as Underlying Cause per 1,000,000 General Population, United States, 1980–2009

Both the crude and age-adjusted death rates per 1,000,000 population for hyperglycemic crises as underlying cause decreased from 1980 to 2009, with most of the decline occurring in the 1990s through the mid-2000s. Declines in the crude and age-adjusted death rates were similar. In 2009, the age-adjusted rate was less than half the rate in 1980 (7.5 vs. 15.3 per 1,000,000 population).
