Data from the National Vital Statistics System, Mortality 1. Age-adjusted rates of alcohol-induced deaths among adults aged 25 and over were stable from 2000 to 2006, then increased 43% from 10.7 per 100,000 in 2006 to 15.3 in 2018. 2. For both males and females, alcohol-induced death rates increased at a greater rate between 2000 and 2018 in rural...
This report describes trends in rates of alcohol-induced deaths among adults aged 25 and over from 2000 through 2018, with a focus on differences by sex and urbanization level of the decedent’s county of residence. Rates overall and rates for males and females increased over the period. While rates were higher for males than females for each year, ...
Alcohol-induced deaths: Deaths from dependent and nondependent use of alcohol, as well as accidental poisoning by alcohol (2). These deaths include underlying International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, or ICD–10 cause-of-death codes E24.4, F10, G31.2, G62.1, G72.1, I42.6, K29.2, K70, K85.2, K86.0, R78.0, X45, X65, and Y15 (2,5). The d...
The National Vital Statistics System multiple-cause-of-death mortality data from 2000–2018 (7) were used to examine alcohol-induced deaths among adults. In each year of the study period (2000–2018), 99% of alcohol-induced deaths occurred among those aged 25 and over; therefore, this report focuses on that population. Alcohol-induced deaths are clas...

Jan 28, 2019 · Necropsy is a dissection of a dead animal to determine the cause of death. In essence, it is an autopsy performed on an animal, such as a whale or shark. Necropsies can help us learn more about the biology of an animal, how it is affected by disease or how human interactions may impact animals. Veterinarians regularly perform necropsies on ...
Jun 1, 2015 · This photo shows scientists performing a necropsy — an investigation to determine the cause of death — on a beached whale. These words describe examinations of a dead body to find the cause of death. Autopsy is the term for examining dead people. Necropsy refers to such probes in other animals. Both types try to find out how an individual died.
These estimates assign each death a single cause, based on data on the ‘underlying cause of death’ listed on death certificates, verbal autopsies, and statistical modeling. This is a simplification, as people often have multiple diseases or injuries that contribute to their death, which may also be listed on death certificates.

Dec 1, 2016 · This study of 231 necropsy cases summarizes the various types of fatal CV and fatal non-CV disease, and the relation of heart weight to age, BMI, and cause of death at a single Texas tertiary hospital in a recent 3-year period.
Dec 1, 2016 · We determined the causes of death and heart weights at necropsy in 231 adults and compared the heart weights to those reported in several studies in the first half of the 20th century. Of the 231 patients, 91 (39%) died of a cardiovascular (CV) condition, and 140 (61%), of a non-CV condition.
