Our analysis of approximately 22 million multiple-cause death certificates from 1999 to 2007 showed increasing mortality among persons noted to have HCV infection; by 2007, there were more recorded deaths among HCV-infected persons than among HIV-infected persons. We have since received data on deaths in 2008 and have recorded an extension of the same trends as shown in that article.
