Air pollution is the sixth highest risk factor for attributable disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) in North Africa and Middle East, but relative importance of different subtypes air any potential differences their health effects by population demographics or country-level socioeconomic factors have not been fully explored. The objective this study was to investigate effect high ambient particulate matter less than 2·5 μm size (PM) ozone on disease burden, mortality, life expectancy 21...
Background: Obesity has become a common health problem all over the world. Benefiting from national representative sample, present study aimed to estimate prevalence of overweight/obesity and distribution Body Mass Index (BMI) levels in Iranian adult population, by sex, age, geographical distribution. Methods: This was large-scale cross-sectional Non-communicable Diseases risk factor surveillance Iran. Through systematic random sampling cluster, 31,050 participants aged 18 years were...
Abstract Background Hematologic malignancies (HMs) are a heterogeneous group of cancers that comprise diverse subgroups neoplasms. So far, despite the major epidemiologic concerns about quality care, limited data available for patients with HMs. Thus, we created novel measure—Quality Care Index (QCI)—to appraise care in different populations. Methods The Global Burden Disease from 1990 to 2017 applied our study. We performed principal component analysis on several secondary indices primary...
Endocarditis accounts for significant morbidity and mortality. Timely diagnosis prompt treatment are of paramount importance optimal patient outcome. However, only few studies have assessed quality care (QoC) in endocarditis. We aimed to describe QoC changes epidemiological features endocarditis from 1990 2019.Using primary indices mortality, incidence, years life lost, lived with disability, disability-adjusted year, obtained the Global Burden Disease Study 2019, we calculated four...
To integrate and execute a proper preventive plan reduce the risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), policy makers need to have access both reliable data unique definition metabolic syndrome (MetS). This study was conducted on collected by cross-sectional studies WHO's STEPwise approach surveillance NCD factors (STEPs) estimate national sub-national prevalence rates MetS in Iran 2016.The estimated among 18,414 individuals aged ≥25 years living urban rural areas using various criteria;...
Background Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) takes a heavy toll in low- and middle-income countries. We aimed to present worldwide estimates for the burden of RHD during 1990 2019 using GBD (Global Burden Disease) study. Methods Results Sociodemographic index (SDI) age-period-cohort analysis were used assess inequity. The age-standardized death, disability-adjusted life years, incidence, prevalence rates 3.9 (95% uncertainty interval, 3.3-4.3), 132.9 115.0-150.3), 37.4 (28.6-46.7), 513.7...
Abstract Background The prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) in the North Africa and Middle East region is alarmingly high, prompting us to investigate burden factors contributing it through GBD study. Additionally, there a lack knowledge about epidemiological status T2DM this region, so our aim provide comprehensive overview its associated risk factors. Methods Using data from 2019 Global Burden Disease Study, we calculated attributable for each 21 countries years 1990 2019. This...
Abstract Background Thyroid cancer (TC) is the most prevalent malignancy of endocrine system. Over past decades, TC incidence rates have been increasing. quality care (QOC) has yet to be well understood. We aimed assess and its disparities. Methods retrieved primary epidemiologic indices from Global Burden Disease (GBD) 1990–2017 database. calculated four secondary mortality ratio, disability‐adjusted life years (DALYs) prevalence lost (YLLs) lived with disability (YLD) ratio summarized them...
Background: Regarding the growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and exposure to their risk factors, continuous need for nationwide data, we aimed develop latest round STEPwise Approach NCD Risk Factor Surveillance (STEPS) survey in 2021 Iran, while COVID-19 pandemic was still present. Methods: In addition three main steps this survey, including questionnaires, physical measurements, laboratory assessments, adapted with situation caused by pandemic, adding various aspects study...
Abstract Smoking is recognised as a critical public health priority due to its enormous and economic consequences. Constant monitoring of the effectiveness tobacco control programs calls for timely population-based data. This study reports national sub-national patterns in consumption among Iranian adults based on results from STEPwise approach chronic disease risk factor surveillance (STEPS) survey 2021. was performed through an analysis STEPS 2021 which had been conducted nationally...
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,...
Breast cancer is the most common among women, causing considerable burden and mortality. Demographic lifestyle transitions in low low-middle income countries have given rise to its increased incidence. The successful management of relies on evidence-based policies taking into account national epidemiologic settings. We aimed report subnational trends breast incidence, mortality, years life lost (YLL) mortality incidence ratio (MIR) since 1990. As part National Subnational Burden Diseases...
Abstract Aims By 2030, we seek to reduce premature deaths from non-communicable diseases, including ischaemic heart disease (IHD), by one-third reach the sustainable development goal (SDG) target 3.4. We aimed investigate quality of care IHD across countries, genders, age groups, and time using Global Burden Diseases Study (GBD) 2017 estimates. Methods results did a principal component analysis on mortality incidence ratio, disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) prevalence years life lost...
Breast cancer (BC), as the top neoplasm in prevalence and mortality females, imposes a heavy burden on health systems. Evaluation of quality care management patients with BC its responsible risk factors was aim this study.We retrieved epidemiologic data from Global Burden Disease (GBD) 1990-2019 database. Epidemiology were explored besides Quality Care Index (QCI) introduced before, to assess provided for various scales. Provided investigated by their impact years life lost lived disability...
To express a global view of care quality in major causes mortality and morbidity children adolescences.We used primary epidemiologic indicators from the Global Burden Disease 1990-2017 database. We have created four secondary indices six order to assess parameters. conducted principal component analysis on incidence, prevalence, mortality, Years Life Lost (YLLs), Lived with Disability (YLDs), Adjusted (DALYs) create an index presented by quality-of-care (QCI) compare different countries.The...
