from Jules: table 1 shows premature death among HCV & coinfected much higher compared to uninfected by either HCV & HIV
from Jules: the leading cause of death among mono-infected is liver cancer, see Table 2. among coinfected liver cancer is 2nd leading cause of death after drug-related

The aging affect of HCV depicted in Figure 2: Rates of deaths due to HCV are increasing as people age
"Among persons who died, the majority of people who were HCV mono-infected died prematurely (67%), and nearly all of those who were HCV/HIV co-infected died prematurely (95%) (Figure 1)."
"Persons with HCV mono-infection are at increased risk of dying from liver cancer, cirrhosis and drug-related causes compared to New Yorkers without HCV or HIV (Table 2)."
Those who are HCV/HIV co-infected are at increased risk of dying of liver cancer and drug-related causes compared to New Yorkers "without HCV or HIV (Table 2)."
"Among persons reported with HCV between 2000 and 2010, 18% died between 2000 and 2011."
