<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> As mortality rates decline, life expectancy increases, and populations age, non-fatal outcomes of diseases injuries are becoming a larger component the global burden disease. The Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study 2016 (GBD 2016) provides comprehensive assessment prevalence, incidence, years lived with disability (YLDs) for 328 causes in 195 countries territories from 1990 to 2016. <h3>Methods</h3> We estimated prevalence incidence 2982...
<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Monitoring levels and trends in premature mortality is crucial to understanding how societies can address prominent sources of early death. The Global Burden Disease 2016 Study (GBD 2016) provides a comprehensive assessment cause-specific for 264 causes 195 locations from 1980 2016. This includes evaluation the expected epidemiological transition with changes development where local patterns deviate these trends. <h3>Methods</h3> We estimated deaths years...
BackgroundThe Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2016 (GBD 2016) provides a comprehensive assessment risk factor exposure attributable burden disease. By providing estimates over long time series, this study can monitor trends critical to health surveillance inform policy debates on the importance addressing risks in context.MethodsWe used comparative framework developed for previous iterations GBD estimate levels exposure, deaths, disability-adjusted life-years...
BackgroundThe number of individuals living with dementia is increasing, negatively affecting families, communities, and health-care systems around the world. A successful response to these challenges requires an accurate understanding disease burden. We aimed present first detailed analysis global prevalence, mortality, overall burden as captured by Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors (GBD) Study 2016, highlight most important messages for clinicians neurologists.MethodsGBD 2016...
Measurement of changes in health across locations is useful to compare and contrast changing epidemiological patterns against system performance identify specific needs for resource allocation research, policy development, programme decision making. Using the Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study 2016, we drew from two widely used summary measures monitor such population health: disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) healthy life expectancy (HALE). We these track trends...
Lower respiratory infections are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality around the world. The Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors (GBD) Study 2016, provides an up-to-date analysis burden lower in 195 countries. This study assesses cases, deaths, aetiologies spanning past 26 years shows how infection has changed people all ages.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and spinal cord (SCI) are increasingly recognised as global health priorities in view of the preventability most injuries complex expensive medical care they necessitate. We aimed to measure incidence, prevalence, years life lived with disability (YLDs) for TBI SCI from all causes every country, describe how these measures have changed between 1990 2016, estimate proportion cases caused by different types injury.
The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2016 provides an up-to-date analysis the burden diarrhoea in 195 countries. This study assesses cases, deaths, aetiologies 1990-2016 how has changed people all ages.We modelled mortality with a Bayesian hierarchical modelling platform that evaluates wide range covariates model types on basis vital registration verbal autopsy data. We incidence compartmental meta-regression tool enforces association between prevalence,...
A key component of achieving universal health coverage is ensuring that all populations have access to quality care. Examining where gains occurred or progress has faltered across and within countries crucial guiding decisions strategies for future improvement. We used the Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study 2016 (GBD 2016) assess personal health-care with Healthcare Access Quality (HAQ) Index 195 territories, as well subnational locations in seven countries, from 1990 2016.
<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Detailed assessments of mortality patterns, particularly age-specific mortality, represent a crucial input that enables health systems to target interventions specific populations. Understanding how all-cause has changed with respect development status can identify exemplars for best practice. To accomplish this, the Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2016 (GBD 2016) estimated sex-specific between 1970 195 countries territories at...
BackgroundPopulation estimates underpin demographic and epidemiological research are used to track progress on numerous international indicators of health development. To date, internationally available population fertility, although useful, have not been produced with transparent replicable methods do use standardised mortality. We present single-calendar year single-year age fertility by sex methods.MethodsWe estimated in 195 locations single calendar from 1950 2017 methods. based the...
The UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are grounded in the global ambition of "leaving no one behind". Understanding today's gains and gaps for health-related SDGs is essential decision makers as they aim to improve health populations. As part Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study 2016 (GBD 2016), we measured 37 50 SDG indicators over period 1990-2016 188 countries, then on basis these past trends, projected 2030.
Understanding causes and correlates of health loss among children adolescents can identify areas success, stagnation, emerging threats thereby facilitate effective improvement strategies.To estimate mortality morbidity in from 1990 to 2017 by age sex 195 countries territories.This study examined levels, trends, spatiotemporal patterns cause-specific nonfatal outcomes using standardized approaches data processing statistical analysis. It also describes epidemiologic transitions evaluating...
Comparable estimates of health spending are crucial for the assessment systems and to optimally deploy resources. The methods used track continue evolve, but little is known about distribution across diseases. We developed improved by source, including development assistance health, and, first time, estimated HIV/AIDS on prevention treatment source funding, 188 countries.We collected published data domestic spending, from 1995 2015, a diverse set international agencies. tracked 1990 2017....
Understanding how prevalence, incidence, and mortality of motor neuron diseases change over time by location is crucial for understanding the causes these disorders health-care planning. Our aim was to produce estimates disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) 195 countries territories from 1990 2016 as part Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2016.
Adherence to antihypertensive medications is a key component control blood pressure levels. Poor adherence these leads the development of hypertensive complications and increase risk cardiovascular events which in turn reduces ultimate clinical outcome. The purpose this study was assess medication associated factors among adult patients. A hospital-based cross-sectional patients conducted at follow-up clinic Jimma University Specialized Hospital from March 4, 2015 April 3, 2015. simple...
Abstract Background Optimal utilization of cardiovascular drugs is crucial in reducing morbidity and mortality associated with diseases. However, the effectiveness these can be compromised by drug therapy problems. Hospitalized patients diseases, particularly those multiple comorbidities, polypharmacy, advanced age, are more susceptible to experiencing little known about problems their contributing factors among disease our setting. Therefore, study aimed investigate Method A prospective...
