Core Tip This study examines disparities in viral hepatitis-related mortality across gender, racial/ethnic, age-group and geographical groups in the United States from 1999 to 2022. Various factors have contributed to the decrease in viral hepatitis-related mortality during this time such as direct-acting antivirals in the treatment for hepatitis C virus, and vaccinations in the prevention of hepatitis B virus. However, social determinants of health have contributed to persistent mortality, and in some cases increases in mortality, despite prevention and treatment options, emphasizing the need for targeted public health interventions.
