The Growing Burden of Disability Related to Chronic Liver Disease in the United States: Data From the Global Burden of Disease Study 2007-2017.

ABSTRACT: Chronic liver disease (CLD) causes significant morbidity and mortality in the United States with regional variations. Comparable and consistent state-level measures of CLD-related morbidity and disability among U.S. states have not been well studied. Our aim was to assess the CLD burden within the United States between 2007 and 2017 based on the most common causes of CLD: hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus (HCV), alcoholic liver disease (ALD), and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The Global Burden of Disease database was used for the years 2007-2017. International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, codes were used to identify liver cancer (LC) and cirrhosis. Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) were computed by the summation of years of life lost and years lived with
