The National Vital Statistics System was used to ascertain deaths due to pulmonary hypertension, which were considered those with decedents having ICD-10 codes I27.0, I27.2, I27.8, or I27.9 reported as any contributing cause of death (ie, any of the possible 20 conditions, including the underlying cause of death). Rates are per 100,000 population and age-specific death rates were calculated for each of six age groups. See Table 2 and 5 legends for expansion of abbreviations.
