<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> In an era of shifting global agendas and expanded emphasis on non-communicable diseases injuries along with communicable diseases, sound evidence trends by cause at the national level is essential. The Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) provides a systematic scientific assessment published, publicly available, contributed data incidence, prevalence, mortality for mutually exclusive collectively exhaustive list injuries....
<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Rigorous analysis of levels and trends in exposure to leading risk factors quantification their effect on human health are important identify where public is making progress which cases current efforts inadequate. The Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019 provides a standardised comprehensive assessment the magnitude factor exposure, relative risk, attributable burden disease. <h3>Methods</h3> GBD estimated mortality, years life...
<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Health system planning requires careful assessment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) epidemiology, but data for morbidity and mortality this are scarce or non-existent in many countries. We estimated the global, regional, national burden CKD, as well cardiovascular gout attributable to impaired function, Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study 2017. use term CKD refer that can be directly attributed all stages we function additional risk from...
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.
Low back pain is highly prevalent and the main cause of years lived with disability (YLDs). We present most up-to-date global, regional, national data on prevalence YLDs for low from Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study 2021.Population-based studies 1980 to 2019 identified in a systematic review, international surveys, US medical claims data, dataset contributions by collaborators were used estimate 1990 2020, 204 countries territories. was defined as between 12th ribs...
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,...
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.
Human resources for health (HRH) include a range of occupations that aim to promote or improve human health. The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the WHO Health Workforce 2030 strategy have drawn attention importance HRH achieving policy priorities such as universal coverage (UHC). Although previous research has found substantial global disparities in HRH, absence comparable cross-national estimates existing workforces hindered efforts quantify workforce requirements meet system...
Mental health is a public issue for European young people, with great heterogeneity in resource allocation. Representative population-based studies are needed. The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2019 provides internationally comparable information on trends the status populations and changes leading causes disease burden over time.
<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Measuring routine childhood vaccination is crucial to inform global vaccine policies and programme implementation, track progress towards targets set by the Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP) Immunization Agenda 2030. Robust estimates of coverage are needed identify past successes persistent vulnerabilities. Drawing from Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2020, Release 1, we did a systematic analysis global, regional, national trends using...
<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...
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...
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.
Disability and mortality burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have risen worldwide; however, the NCD among adolescents remains poorly described in EU.Estimates were retrieved from Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019. Causes NCDs analysed at three different levels GBD 2019 hierarchy, for which mortality, years life lost (YLLs), lived with disability (YLDs), disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) extracted. Estimates, 95% uncertainty intervals (UI), EU Member...

Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 aims to "ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at ages". While a substantial effort has been made quantify progress towards SDG3, less research focused on tracking spending this goal. We used estimates measure in financing the priority areas of examine association between outcomes financing, identify where resource gains are most needed achieve SDG3 indicators which data available.We estimated domestic health spending, disaggregated by...

We used model cases where age sex...
In estimating the global burden of cancer, adolescents and young adults with cancer are often overlooked, despite being a distinct subgroup unique epidemiology, clinical care needs, societal impact. Comprehensive estimates in (aged 15-39 years) lacking. To address this gap, we analysed results from Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019, focus on outcome disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), to inform control measures adults.
