Question

Also please tell me the site you found the information!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

According to the CDC Division of Vital Statistics the following were the leading causes of death in 2002. These apply to both male and female adults.

Rank:


Heart Disease – 28.5%


Malignant Neoplasm (Cancer) –22.8%


Cerebrovascular Diseases (Stroke) – 6.7%


Chronic Lower Respiratory Disease– 5.1%


Accidents (Unintentional) –4.4%


Diabetes Melitus– 3.0%


Influenza/Pneumonia –2.7%


Alzheimer’s– 2.4%


Nephritis(Liver Disease) – 1.7%


Septicemia – 1.4%

Another interesting statistic of note can be found in "Is US Health Really the Best in the World?", published in the Journal of the American Medical Association and written by Barbara Starfield, MD, MPH. In this paper Dr. Starfield gives the following statistics:

7,000 deaths occur each year due to medication errors in hospitals

12,000 deaths occur each year due to unnecessary surgery

20,000 deaths occur each year due to other hospital errors

80,000 deaths occur each year due to nosocomial infections in hospitals

106,000 deaths occur each year due to adverse effects to properly prescribed medications

This equals 225,000 deaths due to what are known as iatrogenic causes. This would place them as the third leading cause of death - just above cerebrovascular diseases at 162,672 deaths.
