Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide. Current estimates on burden cancer are needed for control planning.
IMPORTANCECancer is among the leading causes of death worldwide.Current estimates cancer burden in individual countries and regions are necessary to inform local control strategies.OBJECTIVE To estimate mortality, incidence, years lived with disability (YLDs), life lost (YLLs), disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) for 28 cancers 188 by sex from 1990 2013. EVIDENCE REVIEWThe general methodology Global Burden Disease (GBD) 2013 study was used.Cancer registries were source incidence data as...
<h3>Importance</h3> Liver cancer is among the leading causes of deaths globally. The most common for liver include hepatitis B virus (HBV) and C (HCV) infection alcohol use. <h3>Objective</h3> To report results Global Burden Disease (GBD) 2015 study on primary incidence, mortality, disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) 195 countries or territories from 1990 to 2015, present global, regional, national estimates burden attributable HBV, HCV, alcohol, an "other" group that encompasses residual...
<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Cirrhosis and other chronic liver diseases (collectively referred to as cirrhosis in this paper) are a major cause of morbidity mortality globally, although the burden underlying causes differ across locations demographic groups. We report on results from Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2017 its trends since 1990, by cause, sex, age, for 195 countries territories. <h3>Methods</h3> used data vital registrations, registration...
Combating viral hepatitis is part of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and WHO has put forth B elimination targets in its Global Health Sector Strategy on Viral Hepatitis (WHO-GHSS) Interim Guidance for Country Validation Elimination (WHO Guidance). We estimated global, regional, national prevalence virus (HBV), as well mortality disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) due to HBV, Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019. This included estimates 194 member states,...
Previous estimates of the burden HIV, hepatitis B virus (HBV), and C (HCV) among people who inject drugs have not included attributable to consequences past injecting. We aimed provide these as part Global Burden Disease (GBD) Study 2013.We modelled HBV HCV (including cirrhosis liver cancer burden) HIV at country, regional, global level. extracted United Nations data on proportion notified cases by transmission route, estimated contribution injecting drug use (IDU) disease a cohort method...
The prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in Australia is nearly 1%. In certain well defined groups the far greater, yet an estimated 27% people living with HBV remain undiagnosed. Appropriate screening improves detection, increases opportunity for treatment, and ultimately reduces significant morbidity mortality associated development liver fibrosis hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).This statement highlights important aspects management Australia. There have been recent changes...
Background and Aims Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is a significant global health concern, the most prevalent blood‐borne virus in Australia. World Health Organization (WHO) member states have committed to elimination, with targets diagnose 90% of people living CHB, treat 80% those eligible, reduce attributable deaths by 65% year 2030. Australia has national diagnosed, 20% on treatment, 30% reduction 2022. Approach Results We constructed implemented mathematical model estimate burden CHB...
