Core Tip	Liver cirrhosis (LC) is an important cause of death globally, and prevention and treatment based on etiology is fundamental. Large-sample epidemiology studies of the distribution and changes of etiology in the Southern China population are rare. This study illustrates that the major etiology of LC in Southern China is viral hepatitis, and the proportions of viral hepatitis and hepatitis B virus (HBV) are decreasing; whereas autoimmune, cryptogenic, and mixed etiology cases are increasing. Alcoholic LC patients exhibit a greater risk of suffering from upper gastrointestinal bleeding, and HBV LC patients exhibit greater risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma.
