The highest mortality rates from chronic liver diseases and cirrhosis in 2023 were observed in Eastern European countries, with Romania leading at 46.9 deaths per 100,000 persons. Notably, Estonia experienced a significant increase of 8.87% year-over-year. In contrast, South Africa had the lowest recorded rate at 1.5, with a notable decrease of 5.59% compared to the previous year.
