Abstract
"Gender and Time Trend of Liver Cirrhosis Mortality and Its Estimated Avoidable Proportion in a Mountainous Province of Viet Nam from 2005 To 2018"
Highlights
During 1980-2017, Liver Cirrhosis was the major mortality of liver diseases worldwide [1]
Liver diseases due to chronic infection with hepatitis viruses [5,6,7,8] and high consumption of alcohol [9] have been observed to be common in Viet Nam from the last century to date
Men had a higher age-adjusted mortality rate (ASR-WHO 63.2 per 100,000) due to cirrhosis compared to women (ASR-WHO 7.3 per 100,000), giving man to women ratio: 8.7/1 (63.2/7.3)
Summary
During 1980-2017, Liver Cirrhosis was the major mortality of liver diseases worldwide [1]. Previous results have pointed out the major risk of cirrhosis was “Alcoholism” in many countries [10,11,12,13]. Based on these facts and figures, we have hypothesized that liver cirrhosis is a lifestyle-related health event and a possible avoidable disease. Patients with liver cirrhosis have significantly increased morbidity and mortality [15]. This study aimed to estimate mortality rates, time trends by sex, and to estimate an avoidable proportion of death due to cirrhosis in men in Lang son Province from 2005 to 2018
