* Rates for race, sex, and overall total are age-adjusted per 100,000 U.S. standard population.
†Cause of death is defined as the underlying cause of death or one of the multiple causes of death and is based on the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) codes B15 (hepatitis A).
§ The race category “White” Included white, non-Hispanic and white Hispanic. The race category “Black” included black, non-Hispanic and black Hispanic. The race category “Non-White, non-Black” included all other races.
¶ The race/ethnicity category was added starting in 2010 to incorporate bridged race categories. One death in 2012 is not represented under the race/ethnicity category due to missing race and/or ethnicity data.

* Chronic hepatitis B data from Florida, one of the 7 funded sites, were not included in this table.  Chronic hepatitis B data from all funded sites, including Florida, will be published in an updated table in July.
† Cases and population estimates from New York excluded those who resided in New York City.
§ Cases from Washington excluded Snohomish County, Pierce County, and 90% of King County.
¶ Cases can be reported with more than one laboratory test result. The denominator used to calculate proportions was the total number of cases reported for each site.
** Population estimates for the United States: https://wonder.cdc.gov/bridged-race-population.html. Population estimates from Washington excluded Snohomish and Pierce Counties.

* Rates for race, sex, and overall total are age-adjusted per 100,000 U.S. standard population in 2000.
† Cause of death is defined as the underlying cause of death or 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).
§ The race category “White” Included white, non-Hispanic and white Hispanic. The race category “Black” included black, non-Hispanic and black Hispanic. The race category “Non-White, non-Black” included all other races.
¶ The race/ethnicity category was added starting in 2010 to incorporate bridged race categories. Six deaths in 2010, seven deaths in 2011, five deaths in 2012, and seven deaths in 2013 are not represented under the race/ethnicity category due to missing race and/or ethnicity data.

* Past or present hepatitis C data from Florida, one of the 7 funded sites, were not included in this table.  Past or present hepatitis C data from all funded sites, including Florida, will be published in an updated table in July.
† Cases and population estimates from New York excluded those who resided in New York City.
§ Cases from Washington excluded Snohomish County, Pierce County, and 90% of King County.
¶ Cases can be reported with more than one laboratory test result. The denominator used to calculate proportions was the total number of cases reported for each site.
** Population estimates for the United States: https://wonder.cdc.gov/bridged-race-population.html. Population estimates from Washington excluded Snohomish and Pierce Counties.

* Rates for race, sex, and overall total are age-adjusted per 100,000 U.S. standard population in 2000.
† Cause of death is defined as the underlying cause of death or one of the multiple causes of death and is based on the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) codes B17.1, and B18.2 (hepatitis C).
§ Two deaths in 2010, one death in 2011, two deaths in 2012, and two deaths in 2013 are not represented under the age category due to missing age data.
¶ The race category “White” Included white, non-Hispanic and white Hispanic. The race category “Black” included black, non-Hispanic and black Hispanic. The race category “Non-White, non-Black” included all other races.
** The race/ethnicity category was added starting in 2010 to incorporate bridged race categories. 65 deaths in 2010, 73 deaths in 2011, 126 deaths in 2012, and 111 deaths in 2013 are not represented under the race/ethnicity category due to missing race and/or ethnicity data.
