<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Regularly updated data on stroke and its pathological types, including their incidence, prevalence, mortality, disability, risk factors, epidemiological trends, are important for evidence-based care planning resource allocation. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) aims to provide a standardised comprehensive measurement these metrics at global, regional, national levels. <h3>Methods</h3> We applied GBD 2019 analytical tools...
The burden of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is rising globally, with substantial variation in levels and trends different countries regions. Understanding these geographical differences crucial for formulating effective strategies preventing treating IBD. We report the prevalence, mortality, overall IBD 195 territories between 1990 2017, based on data from Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2017.We modelled mortality due to using a standard Cause Death Ensemble...
Reducing the burden of death due to infection is an urgent global public health priority. Previous studies have estimated number deaths associated with drug-resistant infections and sepsis found that remain a leading cause globally. Understanding common bacterial pathogens (both susceptible resistant antimicrobials) essential identify greatest threats health. To our knowledge, this first study present comprehensive estimates 33 across 11 major infectious syndromes.
<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...
BackgroundHearing loss affects access to spoken language, which can affect cognition and development, negatively social wellbeing. We present updated estimates from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study on prevalence hearing in 2019, as well condition's associated disability.MethodsWe did systematic reviews population-representative surveys 1990 2019. fitted nested meta-regression models for severity-specific prevalence, accounting aid coverage, cause, presence tinnitus. also forecasted...
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...
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,...
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...
Anaemia is a major health problem worldwide. Global estimates of anaemia burden are crucial for developing appropriate interventions to meet current international targets disease mitigation. We describe the prevalence, years lived with disability, and trends its underlying causes in 204 countries territories.We estimated population-level distributions haemoglobin concentration by age sex each location from 1990 2021. then calculated severity associated disability (YLDs). With data on...
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...
<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted gaps in health surveillance systems, disease prevention, and treatment globally. Among the many factors that might have led to these is issue of financing national especially low-income middle-income countries (LMICs), as well a robust global system for preparedness. We aimed provide comparative assessment spending at onset pandemic; characterise amount development assistance preparedness response disbursed first 2 years...
Lymphatic filariasis is a neglected tropical disease that can cause permanent disability through disruption of the lymphatic system. This caused by parasitic filarial worms are transmitted mosquitos. Mass drug administration (MDA) antihelmintics recommended WHO to eliminate as public health problem. study aims produce first geospatial estimates global prevalence infection over time, quantify progress towards elimination, and identify geographical variation in distribution infection.A dataset...
BackgroundTuberculosis is a major contributor to the global burden of disease, causing more than million deaths annually. Given an emphasis on equity in access diagnosis and treatment tuberculosis health targets, evaluations differences by sex are crucial. We aimed assess levels trends tuberculosis, with investigating HIV status for 204 countries territories from 1990 2019.MethodsWe used Bayesian hierarchical Cause Death Ensemble model (CODEm) platform analyse 21 505 site-years vital...
Diabetes, particularly type 1 diabetes, at younger ages can be a largely preventable cause of death with the correct health care and services. We aimed to evaluate diabetes mortality trends than 25 years globally using data from Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019.
