The overlapping burden of the three leading causes of disability and death in sub-Saharan African children
We synthesise subnational estimates of the burden of lower respiratory infections, diarrhoea, and malaria in children under-5 from 2000 to 2017 for 43 sub-Saharan countries.
Progress towards the 2020 milestones of the end TB strategy in Cambodia: estimates of age and sex specific TB incidence and mortality from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
We aimed to examine the levels and trends in the fatal and non-fatal TB burden in Cambodia from 1990 to 2019, assessing progress towards the WHO End TB interim milestones, which aim to reduce TB incidence rate by 20% and TB deaths by 35% from 2015 to 2020.
Neonate, infant, and child mortality in North Africa and Middle East by cause: An analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
We report the number as well as mortality rates for neonates, infants, and children by cause across 21 countries in the region since 1990.
MICROBE
The MICROBE (Measuring Infectious Causes and Resistance Outcomes for Burden Estimation) tool visualizes the fatal and nonfatal health outcomes of infections, pathogens, and antimicrobial resistance across different countries and regions.
Global mortality associated with 33 bacterial pathogens in 2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
We estimated deaths associated with 33 bacterial genera or species across 11 infectious syndromes in 2019 using methods from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD).
A multinational Delphi consensus to end the COVID-19 public health threat
The findings of the study include points of unanimous agreement, as well as six recommendations with >5% disagreement, that provide health and social policy actions to address inadequacies in the pandemic response and help to bring this public health threat to an end.
Prevalence of age-related macular degeneration in the US in 2019
The estimated prevalence of all AMD remains high, although vision-threatening late stages appear to be level with past estimates; state and county estimates may be used for public health planning.
The burden of non-communicable diseases in Portuguese-speaking countries
We analyzed trends in premature mortality from chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) between 1990 and 2019, projections until 2030, and the risk factors attributable to these diseases in the Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries.
The state of air quality and health impacts in Africa
This State of Global Air report presents an overview of the state of air quality and its impacts on health in Africa.
Reconstruction of age distributions from differentially private census data
The age distribution of a population is important for understanding the demand and provision of labor and services, and as a denominator for calculating key age-specific rates such as fertility and mortality.
Global mortality of snakebite envenoming between 1990 and 2019
We used verbal autopsy and vital registration data to model the proportion of venomous animal deaths due to snakes by location, age, year, and sex, and applied these proportions to venomous animal contact mortality estimates from the Global Burden of Disease 2019 study.
The global, regional, and national burden of benign prostatic hyperplasia in 204 countries and territories from 2000 to 2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
As part of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019, we estimated global trends in, and prevalence of, benign prostatic hyperplasia and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia, in 21 regions and 204 countries and territories from 2000 to 2019.
The burden of bacterial antimicrobial resistance in the WHO European region in 2019: a cross-country systematic analysis
This study presents the most comprehensive set of regional and country-level estimates of AMR burden in the WHO European region to date
The state of health in Indonesia’s provinces, 1990–2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
Long-term analyses of disease burden provide insights on Indonesia’s advance to universal health coverage and its ability to meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
Health effects associated with consumption of unprocessed red meat: a Burden of Proof study
We conducted a systematic review and implemented a meta-regression to evaluate the relationships between unprocessed red meat consumption and six potential health outcomes.
Health effects associated with vegetable consumption: a Burden of Proof study
We applied a Bayesian meta-regression tool to estimate the mean risk function and quantify the quality of evidence for associations between vegetable consumption and ischemic heart disease (IHD), ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, type 2 diabetes and esophageal cancer.
The Burden of Proof studies: assessing the evidence of risk
We present a new suite of meta-analyses—termed the Burden of Proof studies—designed specifically to help evaluate the effects of exposure to risks objectively and quantitatively.
Effects of elevated systolic blood pressure on ischemic heart disease: a Burden of Proof study
Using data from published observational studies and controlled trials, we estimated the mean SBP–IHD dose–response function and burden of proof risk function (BPRF), and we calculated a risk outcome score (ROS) and corresponding star rating (one to five).
Health effects associated with smoking: a Burden of Proof study
We re-estimated the dose–response relationships between current smoking and 36 health outcomes by conducting systematic reviews up to 31 May 2022, employing a meta-analytic method that incorporates between-study heterogeneity into estimates of uncertainty.
Estimated global proportions of individuals with persistent fatigue, cognitive, and respiratory symptom clusters following symptomatic COVID-19 in 2020 and 2021
Among individuals who had symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection in 2020 and 2021, what proportion experienced common self-reported Long COVID symptom clusters 3 months after initial infection?
A generation lost: the devastating effect of malnutrition on children with clefts
This report details the impacts of malnutrition in under-5 children with cleft throughout the world by merging the data collected on patients by Smile Train clinical partners with the estimates and insights on the direct health consequences of malnutrition from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study.
