<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> 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...
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...
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...
Background: Nonrheumatic valvular diseases are common; however, no studies have estimated their global or national burden. As part of the Global Burden Disease Study 2017, mortality, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) for calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD), degenerative mitral disease, other nonrheumatic were 195 countries territories from 1990 to 2017. Methods: Vital registration data, epidemiologic survey administrative hospital data used estimate burden using...
Since 2000, many countries have achieved considerable success in improving child survival, but localized progress remains unclear. To inform efforts towards United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3.2-to end preventable deaths by 2030-we need consistently estimated data at the subnational level regarding mortality rates and trends. Here we quantified, for period 2000-2017, variation number of neonates, infants children under 5 years age within 99 low- middle-income using a geostatistical...
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...
Better evaluation of existing health programmes, appropriate policy making against emerging threats, and reducing inequalities in Iran rely on a comprehensive national subnational breakdown the burden diseases, injuries, risk factors.In this systematic analysis, we present estimates disease using Global Burden Disease Study 2019. We report trends demographics, all-cause cause-specific mortality, as well years life lost (YLLs), lived with disability (YLDs), disability-adjusted life-years...
Documentation of patterns and long-term trends in mortality young people, which reflect huge changes demographic social determinants adolescent health, enables identification global investment priorities for this age group. We aimed to analyse data on the number deaths, years life lost, rates by sex group people aged 10-24 204 countries territories from 1950 2019 use estimates Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019.
<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...
The global burden of lower respiratory infections (LRIs) and corresponding risk factors in children older than 5 years adults has not been studied as comprehensively it younger years. We assessed the trends LRIs across all age groups by sex, for 204 countries territories.
<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Universal access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities is an essential human right, recognised in the Sustainable Development Goals as crucial for preventing disease improving wellbeing. Comprehensive, high-resolution estimates are important inform progress towards achieving this goal. We aimed produce geospatial of facilities. <h3>Methods</h3> used a Bayesian geostatistical model data from 600 sources across more than 88 low-income...
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...
Across low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), one in ten deaths children younger than 5 years is attributable to diarrhoea. The substantial between-country variation both diarrhoea incidence mortality interventions that protect children, prevent infection, treat disease. Identifying subnational regions with the highest burden mapping associated risk factors can aid reducing preventable childhood
