<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....
Cancer and other noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are now widely recognized as a threat to global development. The latest United Nations high-level meeting on NCDs reaffirmed this observation also highlighted the slow progress in 2011 Political Declaration Prevention Control of Noncommunicable Diseases third Sustainable Development Goal. Lack situational analyses, priority setting, budgeting have been identified major obstacles achieving these goals. All common that they require information...
<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Accurate and up-to-date assessment of demographic metrics is crucial for understanding a wide range social, economic, public health issues that affect populations worldwide. The Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019 produced updated comprehensive assessments the key indicators fertility, mortality, migration, population 204 countries territories selected subnational locations from 1950 to 2019. <h3>Methods</h3> 8078 country-years...
<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...
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...
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...
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...
Abstract The safe, highly effective measles vaccine has been recommended globally since 1974, yet in 2017 there were more than 17 million cases of and 83,400 deaths children under 5 years old, 99% both occurred low- middle-income countries (LMICs) 1–4 . Globally comparable, annual, local estimates routine first-dose measles-containing (MCV1) coverage are critical for understanding geographically precise immunity patterns, progress towards the targets Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP),...
Abstract A double burden of malnutrition occurs when individuals, household members or communities experience both undernutrition and overweight. Here, we show geospatial estimates overweight wasting prevalence among children under 5 years age in 105 low- middle-income countries (LMICs) from 2000 to 2017 aggregate these policy-relevant administrative units. Wasting decreased overall across LMICs between 2017, 8.4% (62.3 (55.1–70.8) million) 6.4% (58.3 (47.6–70.7) million), but is predicted...
Foundation models are becoming increasingly effective in the medical domain, offering pre-trained on large datasets that can be readily adapted for downstream tasks. Despite progress, fetal ultrasound images remain a challenging domain foundation due to their inherent complexity, often requiring substantial additional training and facing limitations scarcity of paired multimodal data. To overcome these challenges, here we introduce FetalCLIP, vision-language model capable generating...
The outbreak of COVID-19 was first reported from China, and on 19 February 2020, the case confirmed in Qom, Iran. basic reproduction number (R0 ) infection is variable different populations periods. This study aimed to estimate R0 Iran, compare it with that other countries. For estimation serial interval, we used data 51 cases their 318 close contacts daily early phase estimated interval were for estimation. We time-varying method as a least bias Italy South Korea. gamma distribution, mean...
Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most burdensome cancers worldwide. Despite advancements in diagnostic and treatment modalities, developing countries are still dealing with increasing burdens existing disparities. This study provides estimates BC burden associated risk factors Iran at national subnational levels over 30 years (1990-2019).Data on for were retrieved from Global Burden Disease (GBD) 1990 to 2019. GBD estimation methods applied explore incidence, prevalence, deaths,...
