<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Ending the global tobacco epidemic is a defining challenge in health. Timely and comprehensive estimates of prevalence smoking use attributable disease burden are needed to guide control efforts nationally globally. <h3>Methods</h3> We estimated for 204 countries territories, by age sex, from 1990 2019 as part Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study. modelled multiple smoking-related indicators 3625 representative surveys. completed systematic...
Bone fractures are a global public health issue; however, to date, no comprehensive study of their incidence and burden has been done. We aimed measure the global, regional, national incidence, prevalence, years lived with disability (YLDs) from 1990 2019.
BackgroundAchieving universal health coverage (UHC) involves all people receiving the services they need, of high quality, without experiencing financial hardship. Making progress towards UHC is a policy priority for both countries and global institutions, as highlighted by agenda UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) WHO's Thirteenth General Programme Work (GPW13). Measuring effective at health-system level important understanding whether are aligned with countries' profiles sufficient...
BackgroundSustainable Development Goal 3.2 has targeted elimination of preventable child mortality, reduction neonatal death to less than 12 per 1000 livebirths, and children younger 5 years 25 for each country by 2030. To understand current rates, recent trends, potential trajectories mortality the next decade, we present Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019 findings all-cause cause-specific in age, with multiple scenarios 2030 that include consideration effects...
The health risks associated with moderate alcohol consumption continue to be debated. Small amounts of might lower the risk some outcomes but increase others, suggesting that overall depends, in part, on background disease rates, which vary by region, age, sex, and year.
Background Past research in population health trends has shown that injuries form a substantial burden of loss. Regular updates to injury assessments are critical. We report Global Burden Disease (GBD) 2017 Study estimates on morbidity and mortality for all injuries. Methods reviewed results from the GBD study. measured injury-specific years life lost (YLLs) using Cause Death Ensemble model. To measure non-fatal injuries, modelled incidence converted this prevalence lived with disability...
Documentation of patterns and long-term trends in mortality young people, which reflect huge changes demographic social determinants adolescent health, enables identification global investment priorities for this age group. We aimed to analyse data on the number deaths, years life lost, rates by sex group people aged 10-24 204 countries territories from 1950 2019 use estimates Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019.
Anemia is a globally widespread condition in women and associated with reduced economic productivity increased mortality worldwide. Here we map annual 2000-2018 geospatial estimates of anemia prevalence reproductive age (15-49 years) across 82 low- middle-income countries (LMICs), stratify by severity aggregate results to policy-relevant administrative national levels. Additionally, provide subnational disparity analyses comprehensive overview inequalities within these predict progress...
Abstract Background ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence language model developed and released by OpenAI (San Francisco, CA) in late 2022. Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance on Plastic Surgery In-Service Examination compare it residents’ nationally. Methods Examinations from 2018 2022 were used as a question source. For each question, stem all multiple-choice options imported into ChatGPT. examination plastic surgery residents Results In total, 1129 questions...
High prevalence of diabetes has been reported in the Americas, but no comprehensive analysis burden and related factors for region is available. We aimed to describe type 1 2 that hyperglycaemia Americas from 1990 2019.We used estimates GBD 2019 evaluate adults aged 20 years or older high fasting plasma glucose 25 39 countries territories six regions 2019. The main source estimate mortality attributable chronic kidney disease due was vital registration. Mortality overall (ie, disease)...
Background While there is a long history of measuring death and disability from injuries, modern research methods must account for the wide spectrum that can occur in an injury, provide estimates with sufficient demographic, geographical temporal detail to be useful policy makers. The Global Burden Disease (GBD) 2017 study used highly detailed global injury burden meet these criteria. Methods In this study, we report discuss GBD morbidity mortality estimation. summary, included estimating...
Background As global rates of mortality decrease, non-fatal injury have increased, particularly in low Socio-demographic Index (SDI) nations. We hypothesised this pattern would be demonstrated regard to bony hand and wrist trauma over the 27-year study period. Methods The Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study 2017 was used estimate prevalence, age-standardised incidence years lived with disability for 195 countries from 1990 2017. Individual injuries included fractures, thumb...
The technology of artificial intelligence (AI) has made significant in-roads into the field medicine over last decade. With surgery being a discipline where repetition is key to mastery, scope AI presents enormous potential for resident education through analysis technique and delivery structured feedback performance improvement. In an era marred by raging pandemic that decreased exposure opportunity, offers attractive solution towards improving operating room efficiency, safe patient care...
The six global nutrition targets (GNTs) related to low birthweight, exclusive breastfeeding, child growth (ie, wasting, stunting, and overweight), anaemia among females of reproductive age were chosen by the World Health Assembly in 2012 as key indicators maternal health, but there has yet be a comprehensive report on progress for period 2021. We aimed evaluate levels, trends, observed-to-expected prevalence attributable burden from 2021, with projections 2050, 204 countries territories.
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has upended our lives, with millions of people infected and thousands deaths around the globe.1 Social distancing emerged as recommended strategy to reduce spread virus mitigate its deadly effects. This caused critical challenges in daily human life burdened health care systems an increasing need for adequate healthy staff, ventilators, diagnostic testing, personal protective equipment.2 These unprecedented circumstances have also presented a...
Financial burden caused by cancer treatment is associated with material loss, distress, and poorer outcomes. resources exist to support patients but identification of need difficult. We sought develop test a tool accurately predict an individual's risk financial toxicity based on clinical, demographic, patient-reported data prior initiation breast treatment.We surveyed 611 undergoing therapy at MD Anderson Cancer Center. collected using the validated COmprehensive Score for Toxicity (COST)...
Machine learning systems have become integrated into some of the most vital decision-making aspects humanity, including hiring decisions, loan applications, and automobile safety, to name just a few. As applications increase in both gravity complexity, data quality algorithmic interpretability must rise meet those challenges. This is especially for navigating nuances health care, particularly among high stakes surgical operations. In addition inherent ethical challenges enabling "black box"...
