*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 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. 
One death in 2012 is not represented under the race/ethnicity category due to missing race and/or ethnicity data.

§ N= Not Reportable, past/present hepatitis C infection is not reportable in the listed state. 
Cases reported by California through NNDSS were all from San Francisco County.  Differences in the number o cases in this table and table 3.4 is because NNSDSS and CDC’s Secure Access Management System (SAMS) have different deadline dated for which all annual data must be submitted.

*Chronic hepatitis B data from Florida, one of the 7 funded sites, were not included in this table.
New York City was not included in the case count for New York State, therefore cases and population estimates from New York excluded those who resided in New York City
§The denominator used to calculate proportions was the total number of cases reported for each site.
Cases can be reported with more than one laboratory test result.

†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).
§ Six deaths in 2010, seven deaths in 2011, five deaths in 2012, seven deaths in 2013, and 16 deaths in 2014 are not represented under the race/ethnicity category due to missing race and/or ethnicity data.

*Cases and population estimates from New York excluded those who resided in New York City because New York City was not included in the reported case counts.
†The denominator used to calculate proportions was the total number of cases reported for each site.
§Cases can be reported with more than one laboratory test result.

*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, two deaths in 2013, and five deaths in 2014 are not represented under the age category due to missing age data.
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, 111 deaths in 2013, and 142 deaths in 2014 are not represented under the race/ethnicity category due to missing race and/or ethnicity data.
