New mortality data for the calendar year 2023 has been added to the liver disease profile. Trend data back to 2001 is also available.
The following indicators have been updated:
- mortality from liver disease in persons, males and females aged under 75
- mortality from alcoholic liver disease in persons, males and females aged under 75
- mortality from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in persons aged under 75
- mortality from hepatitis B related end-stage liver disease or hepatocellular carcinoma in persons aged under 75
- mortality from hepatitis C related end-stage liver disease or hepatocellular carcinoma in persons aged under 75
Liver disease is one of the main causes of premature mortality nationally. The profile is designed to support local authorities by providing data in a user-friendly format to allow them to assess the effect of liver disease in their areas and take action to prevent it.
Data is presented for England, the regions, and where possible, county and unitary authorities (UAs) and district and UAs. Some of the indicators are also presented by sex and level of deprivation to highlight inequalities in liver disease outcomes and care between these groups.
