Numbers and rates* of deaths with Hepatitis B virus infection listed as a cause of death† among residents, by state or jurisdiction — United States, 2017–2021
The table displays the number and rates of death with hepatitis B listed as a cause of death by state or jurisdiction for 2017–2021. The first column lists the state or jurisdiction. Each year has two columns of data; the first column displays the number of reported deaths, and the second column lists the rates of death with hepatitis B listed as a cause of death.

Source: CDC, National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Multiple Cause of Death on CDC WONDER Online Database. Data for 2017 are from the 1999–2020 bridged-race file and data for 2018–2021 are from the 2018–2021 single-race file. Data are based on information from all death certificates filed in the vital records offices of the 50 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 US territories) and fetal deaths are excluded. Accessed at CDC Wonder on March 13, 2023. CDC WONDER data set documentation and technical methods can be accessed here.
* Rates are age-adjusted per 100,000 US standard population during 2000 by 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 might 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 Rev. (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 because of the instability associated with those rates.
S: Suppressed. Subnational data representing less than 10 deaths (0–9) are suppressed or CDC WONDER did not have the functionality to calculate rates.

Hepatitis B is associated with premature death, elevated rates of death from all causes, and elevated rates of death from liver-related causes, including hepatocellular carcinoma. Among jurisdictions with death rates available, the highest hepatitis B-associated death rate was observed in Hawaii (1.36 deaths per 100,000 population). In total, 14 states had hepatitis B-associated death rates higher than the national rate (0.44 deaths per 100,000 population).
