We investigated whether eventual causes of death among a cohort of inmates imprisoned in the southeastern United States differed from those in previous prisoner studies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Methods. We matched 23\u2009510 prisoners in Georgia, a state with historically low levels of heroin consumption but moderate amounts of injection drug use, who were incarcerated on June 30, 1991, to death registries through 2010. Main exposure was 4-year time intervals over 2 decades of observation; main outcome was mortality from liver disease, HIV, and overdose.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results. Although the HIV-related mortality rate exceeded that from liver-related conditions before 2003, liver disease subsequently surpassed HIV as a cause of death. Among 3863 deaths, 22 (0.6%) occurred within 2 weeks after release from prison. Of these, only 2 were caused by accidental poisoning (likely drug overdose). Cardiovascular disease and cancer were the most frequent causes of death in this aging cohort.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusions. Our study design deemphasized immediate deaths but highlighted long-term sequelae of exposure to viral hepatitis and alcohol. Treating hepatitis C and implementing interventions to manage alcohol use disorders may improve survival among prisoners in the Southeast.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2105\/ajph.2014.302546","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,3,19]],"date-time":"2015-03-19T16:05:17Z","timestamp":1426781117000},"page":"e51-e57","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["A Comparison of Liver Disease Mortality With HIV and Overdose Mortality Among Georgia Prisoners and Releasees: A 2-Decade Cohort Study of Prisoners Incarcerated in 1991"],"prefix":"10.2105","volume":"105","author":[{"given":"Anne C.","family":"Spaulding","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"At the time of the study, Anne C.
