Viral Hepatitis Surveillance Report 2018 — Hepatitis B

ACUTE HEPATITIS B, 2018. 3,322 New cases reported. 1.0 Reported cases per 100,000 population. 21,600 Acute infections estimated

* 95% Bootstrap Confidence Interval: (12,300– 52,800)

AT A GLANCE: Acute Hepatitis B in 2018

Rates of acute hepatitis B remained low in children and adolescents, likely due to childhood vaccinations. However, over half of acute hepatitis B cases reported to CDC in 2018 were among persons aged 30–49 years.

Source: CDC, National Center for Health Statistics, Multiple Cause of Death 1999–2018 on CDC WONDER Online Database. Data are from the 2014–2018 Multiple Cause of Death files and are based on information from all
death certificates filed in the vital records offices of the fifty states and the District of Columbia through the Vital Statistics Cooperative Program. Deaths of nonresidents (e.g., nonresident aliens, nationals living abroad, residents
of Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, and other U.S. Territories) and fetal deaths are excluded. Numbers are slightly lower than previously reported for 2013–2016 due to NCHS standards which restrict displayed data to U.S.
residents. Accessed at http://wonder.cdc.gov/mcd-icd10.html on February 14, 2020. CDC WONDER dataset documentation and technical methods can be accessed at https://wonder.cdc.gov/wonder/help/mcd.html#.
* Rates are age-adjusted per 100,000 U.S. standard population in 2000 using the following age group distribution (in years): <1, 1–4, 5–14, 15–24, 25–34, 35–44, 45–54, 55–64, 65–74, 75–84, and 85+. For
age-adjusted death rates, the age-specific death rate is rounded to one decimal place before proceeding to the next step in the calculation of age-adjusted death rates for NCHS Multiple Cause of Death on CDC
WONDER. This rounding step may affect the precision of rates calculated for small numbers of deaths. Missing data are not included.
† Cause of death is defined as one of the multiple causes of death and is based on the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) codes B16, B17.0, B18.0, B18.1 (hepatitis B).
UR^§ Unreliable rate: Rates where death counts were less than 20 were not displayed due to the instability associated with those rates.
S^¶ Suppressed: Sub-national data representing fewer than ten deaths (0-9) are suppressed or CDC WONDER did not have the functionality to calculate rates.
