Comparison of Mortality Data from AIDS Case Reports and Death Certificates in Which HIV Disease Was Selected as the Underlying Cause of Death, United States, 1987−2005
The annual number of deaths of persons with AIDS (some of which were not caused by AIDS), as reported to the national HIV/AIDS surveillance system through June 30, 2007, and adjusted for reporting delay, was 9% to 23% (depending on the year) greater than the number of deaths attributed to HIV disease in death certificate data (by ICD-10 rules for selecting the underlying cause of death). The greater number of deaths of persons with AIDS is partly because some persons with AIDS die of causes not attributable to HIV disease, such as motor vehicle accidents, and partly because some deaths due to HIV disease are not reported as such on death certificates.](images/Slide3.gif)

Trends in Annual Age-Adjusted Rate of Death due to HIV Disease, United States, 1987−2005
The age-adjusted rate of death due to HIV disease increased almost linearly from 6 deaths per 100,000 population in 1987 to 17 deaths per 100,000 population in 1994 and 1995, then decreased to 7 deaths per 100,000 population in 1997, and almost leveled off at about 5 deaths per 100,000 after 1998. The age-adjusted HIV death rate decreased 28% from 1995 to 1996, 45% from 1996 to 1997, and 18% from 1997 to 1998. After 1998, the annual percentage decrease ranged from 3% to 6%.
The decrease in the rate in 1996 and 1997 was largely due to improvements in antiretroviral therapy. Prophylactic medications for opportunistic infections and the prevention of HIV infection may also have contributed to this decrease. The leveling of the rate after 1998 may reflect a lack of access to or effectiveness of therapy among some persons. Possible reasons for this include delay in diagnosis of HIV infection until symptoms have occurred, inadequate treatment after diagnosis, difficulty in adherence to medication regimens, and development of viral resistance to therapy.
To eliminate the effect of changes in the age distribution of the population, rates have been adjusted to appear as though the age distribution of the population in every year was the same as that of the US population in 2000 (the Public Health Service standard for age-adjustment). For comparison with data for 1999 and later, data for the years before 1999 were modified to appear as if the underlying cause had been selected according to ICD-10 rules instead of ICD-9 rules.](images/Slide4.gif)

Trends in Annual Age-Adjusted* Rate of Death due to HIV Disease, by Sex, United States, 1987−2005
In the United States, the rate of death due to HIV disease among males has always been several times the rate among females, but the ratio of these rates has decreased from about 10-to-1 in 1987 to 3-to-1 in 1998 and later years.
For both sexes, the rates of death due to HIV were highest in 1994 and 1995. After 1997, the death rate among females has been stable at 2.5 deaths per 100,000 population. The rate among males continued to decrease slowly every year: from 1998 through 2005, the average annual percentage decrease was about 6%.](images/Slide5.gif)

Trends in the rate of death due to HIV disease have varied by age group. From 1995 through 1997, the rate of death dropped most rapidly among persons aged 25 to 34 and 35-44 years. After 1997, the rate of death continued to decline in these age groups, but was nearly level or increased in other age groups.](images/Slide7.gif)

Trends in the Percentage Distribution of Deaths due to HIV Disease, by Age Group, United States, 1987−2005
From 1987 through 2005, the proportion of deaths due to HIV disease among persons less than 35 years of age (represented by the top two components of the bars in the graph) decreased from 43% to 12%, while the proportion among older persons, particularly those 45 years or older (represented by the bottom two components of the bars), increased from 22% to 53%. One reason for these changes may be the longer survival of HIV-infected persons, allowing death to be postponed to older ages. An increase in the proportion of older age groups in the general population could also have affected these trends.
From 1987 through 1993, 73% to 74% of deaths due to HIV disease were among persons 25 to 44 years of age (represented by the orange and blue components of the bars). After 1993, the proportion of deaths at 25 to 44 years of age began to decrease, reaching 45% by 2005.](images/Slide8.gif)

The median age at death due to HIV disease increased almost linearly from 36 years in 1987 to 39 years in 1995, and to 45 years in 2005. This is a reflection of the postponement to older ages of HIV-attributable deaths that were not entirely prevented by improved treatment. The median age at death due to HIV disease varied little by racial/ethnic groups.](images/Slide9.gif)

Trends in Age-Adjusted* Annual Rates of Death due to HIV Disease, by Geographic Region, United States, 1987−2005
In all four regions of the United States, the age-adjusted rate of death due to HIV disease increased until 1994 or 1995, and then rapidly decreased in 1996 and 1997, coinciding with the increase in the use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). The rate in each region became approximately level after 1998. The rate had increased most slowly in the West and most rapidly in the South through 1995. As a result, the rate in the South exceeded the rate in the West by 1994. After 1995, the rate decreased more slowly in the South than in the other regions, with the result that the rate in the South exceeded the rate in the Northeast in 2004 and 2005.](images/Slide11.gif)

Trends in Age-Adjusted* Annual Rates of Death due to HIV Disease, by Race/Ethnicity, United States, 1990−2005
The age-adjusted rate of death due to HIV disease has been highest among non-Hispanic blacks and second highest among Hispanics.
In every racial/ethnic group, the rate decreased greatly from 1995 through 1998. Among non-Hispanic blacks, however, the percentage decrease in the rate was proportionally smaller (58%) than in the other racial/ethnic groups. The percentage decrease in the other groups ranged from 67% among American Indians/Alaska Natives to 76% among non-Hispanic whites.
In the absence of information from the next-of-kin, some American Indians/Alaska Natives, and Asians/Pacific Islanders may have been misclassified as white, which could have resulted in underestimation of death rates in these groups.
[Technical Notes: For the calculation of national death rates by race and ethnicity, data for a few states were excluded for the years when death certificates for those states did not collect information on Hispanic ethnicity. The states for which data were omitted were: Connecticut and Louisiana in 1990, New Hampshire through 1992, and Oklahoma through 1996.]](images/Slide13.gif)

From 1990 through 2005, the proportion of non-Hispanic blacks among persons who died of HIV disease increased from 29% to 55%, while the proportion of non-Hispanic whites decreased from 53% to 30%. This shift in the racial/ethnic distribution of deaths accelerated from 1996 through 1998, coincident with the increasing use of highly active antiretroviral therapy, suggesting that the shift may have resulted in part from differential access to the therapy. The proportion of Hispanics was stable at 13% to 14%, and the proportion of persons in other racial/ethnic groups (including Asians/Pacific Islanders, and American Indians/Alaska Natives) was stable at about 1%. In addition, the proportion of persons of unspecified race/ethnicity decreased from 4% to 1%.

For both males and females, in the most recent 5 years for which data were available, the rates of death due to HIV among non-Hispanic blacks were much higher than the rates among Hispanics, which were much higher than the rates among the other 3 racial/ethnic groups. The rate among non-Hispanic black females was higher than the rate among males in every racial/ethnic group except non-Hispanic black males.
For both sexes, the rates among Asians/Pacific Islanders were lower than the rates in each of the 4 other groups, including non-Hispanic whites. In fact, the rate among female Asians/Pacific Islanders was so low as to be invisible on this graph. For both sexes, the rate among American Indians/Alaska Natives was higher than the rate among non-Hispanic whites.](images/Slide15.gif)

This graph illustrates the interaction of the effects of geographic region and race/ethnicity on rates of death due to HIV disease in the most recent 5 years for which data were available. The rates among non-Hispanic blacks and Hispanics varied greatly by region, but the rates among the other 3 racial/ethnic groups did not vary much by region except for being somewhat lower in the Midwest than elsewhere.
The rates among non-Hispanic blacks and Hispanics were higher in the Northeast than in the other 3 regions. Only in the Northeast was the rate among Hispanics several times higher than the rate among non-Hispanic whites, American Indians/Alaska Natives, and Asians/Pacific Islanders. In the West, the rate among Hispanics was almost the same as the rate among American Indians/Alaska Natives, and slightly higher than the rate among non-Hispanic whites.](images/Slide16.gif)

Trends in Annual Rates of Death due to the 9 Leading Causes among Persons 25−44 Years Old, United States, 1987−2005
Focusing on persons 25 to 44 years old emphasizes the importance of HIV disease among causes of death. Compared with rates among other age groups, the rate of death due to HIV disease is relatively high in this age group, but rates of death due to other causes are relatively low.
HIV disease was the leading cause of death among persons 25 to 44 years old in 1994 and 1995. In 1995, HIV disease caused about 32,000 deaths, or 20% of all deaths in this age group (based on ICD-10 rules for selecting the underlying cause of death). The rank of HIV disease fell to 5th place from 1997 through 2000, and to 6th place from 2001 through 2005. In 2005, HIV disease caused about 6,000 deaths, or 5% of all deaths in this age group.](images/Slide17.gif)

Trends in Annual Rates of Death due to the 9 Leading Causes among Asian/Pacific Islander Men 25−44 Years Old United States, 1990−2005
Among Asian/Pacific Islander women 25 to 44 years of age, the rate of death attributed to HIV disease peaked in 1994, when HIV was the 7th leading cause of death, accounting for 24 deaths, or less than 2% of all deaths in this demographic group. The rate of death due to HIV fell during 1995 through 1997. In 2005, HIV caused only 7 deaths, or less than 1% of all deaths in this group. During the entire period, the rate of death due to HIV was unstable and statistically unreliable because of small numbers (ranging from 5 to 24 deaths per year). The rank of HIV disease among causes of death was likewise unstable, jumping from 16th in 2001 to 12th in 2005.
[Technical Notes: For the calculation of national death rates by race and ethnicity, data for a few states were excluded for the years when death certificates for those states did not collect information on Hispanic ethnicity. The states for which data were omitted were: Connecticut and Louisiana in 1990, New Hampshire through 1992, and Oklahoma through 1996.]](images/Slide27.gif)

Trends in Annual Rates of Death due to the 9 Leading Causes among American Indian/Alaska Native Men 25−44 Years Old United States, 1990−2005
Among American Indian/Alaska Native men 25 to 44 years of age, unintentional injury was the most common cause of death, responsible for about one third of all deaths − three times as many deaths as the second leading cause, suicide. The rate of death due to unintentional injury decreased substantially during the 1990s but increased in 2002, followed by a drop in 2003 and 2004 and an increase in 2005. The rate of death due to HIV disease peaked in 1995, when HIV was the 3rd leading cause of death, accounting for more than 100 deaths, or 10% of all deaths in this group. HIV infection was the 7th leading cause of death from 1997 through 2004. In 2005, HIV was the 8th leading cause of death, when it caused 25 deaths, or 2% of all deaths in this group. The rates of deaths due to diabetes and stroke were statistically unreliable because of small numbers (fewer than 20 per year).

Trends in Annual Rates of Death due to the 9 Leading Causes and HIV among American Indian/Alaska Native Women 25−44 Years Old United States, 1990−2005
Among American Indian/Alaska Native women 25 to 44 years of age, the rate of death due to HIV disease peaked in 1995, when HIV was the 7th leading cause of death, accounting for 20 deaths, or 4% of all deaths in this demographic group. In 2005, HIV was the 9th leading cause of death, accounting for only 16 deaths, or 3% of all deaths in this group. The rates of death due to HIV disease, stroke, and diabetes during the entire period were statistically unreliable because of small numbers (20 or fewer per year).
