The average age of the deceased is 53,8 years, with a ratio males: females--2,3:1.

Decompensated stage of cirrhosis was established in 77,9% from the deceased at the last examination and compensated--21,1%. Immediate cause for the death in the summed up group cirrhoses is: hepatic coma in 42,2%, acute hemorrhage with or without coma--32,3%, other causes--18,9%. Degeneration of liver cirrhosis into cancer was established in 9,01%. Cirrhosis degenerated more frequently in males. Hemochromatosis and micronodular cirrhosis are the ones that most frequently degenerated.
