To report the level and trends of prevalence, incidence years lived with disability (YLDs) for osteoarthritis (OA) in 195 countries territories from 1990 to 2017 by age, sex Socio-demographic index (SDI; a composite sociodemographic factors).Publicly available modelled data Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) were used. The burden OA was estimated 2017, through systematic analysis prevalence using methods reported GBD Study. All estimates presented as counts...
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...
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis in adults, characterised by chronic pain and loss mobility. frequently occurs after age 40 years prevalence increases steeply with age. WHO has designated 2021-30 decade healthy ageing, which highlights need to address diseases such as osteoarthritis, strongly affect functional ability quality life. can coexist with, negatively effect, other conditions. Here we estimate burden hand, hip, knee, sites osteoarthritis across geographies, age,...
Abstract Objective To use data from the Global Burden of Disease Study between 1990 and 2017 to report rates trends point prevalence, annual incidence, years lived with disability for neck pain in general population 195 countries. Design Systematic analysis. Data source Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors 2017. Main outcome measures Numbers age standardised per 100 000 were compared across regions countries by age, sex, sociodemographic index. Estimates reported uncertainty intervals. Results...
To report the levels and trends of prevalence, deaths, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) due to musculoskeletal disorders, categorized as low back pain, neck osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), gout, other across 195 countries territories from 1990 2017 according age, sex, Sociodemographic Index (SDI; a composite sociodemographic factors).Data were obtained Global Burden Disease (GBD) Study 2017. The fatal nonfatal burdens disorders estimated using Cause Death Ensemble model...

Methods Data were extracted Global Burden Disease (GBD) study. A comprehensive systematic review databases disease‐modeled analysis performed by GBD team at Institute Health Metrics Evaluation,...
Musculoskeletal disorders include more than 150 different conditions affecting joints, muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons, and the spine. To capture all health loss from death disability due to musculoskeletal disorders, Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) includes a residual category for other osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, low back pain, neck pain. This is called includes, example, systemic lupus erythematosus spondylopathies. We provide updated...
Background Neck pain is a highly prevalent condition that leads to considerable pain, disability, and economic cost.We present the most current estimates of neck prevalence years lived with disability (YLDs) from Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) by age, sex, location, forecasted 2050. MethodsSystematic reviews identified population-representative surveys used estimate YLDs in 204 countries territories, spanning 1990 2020, additional data opportunistic review.Medical...
Background: Low back pain is highly prevalent and the number one 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 2021 Study. Methods: Population-based studies 1980 to 2019 identified in a systematic review, international surveys, USA claims data, dataset contributions by collaborators were used estimate 1990 2021, 204 countries territories. was defined as...
A comprehensive understanding of temporal trends in the disease burden Australia is lacking, and these are required to inform health service planning improve population health. We explored diseases their risk factors from 1990 2019 through a analysis Global Burden Disease Study (GBD) 2019.In this systematic for GBD 2019, we estimated all-cause mortality using standardised methodology. Data sources included primarily vital registration systems with additional data sample registrations,...
<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Gout is an inflammatory arthritis manifesting as acute episodes of severe joint pain and swelling, which can progress to chronic tophaceous or erosive gout, both. Here, we present the most up-to-date global, regional, national estimates for prevalence years lived with disability (YLDs) due gout by sex, age, location from Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021, well forecasted 2050. <h3>Methods</h3> YLDs 1990 2020 were estimated...
