Varied health spending growth across US states was associated with income, price levels, and Medicaid expansion, 2000-19
Contemporary estimates of state health spending are valuable for tracking divergent expenditure trajectories in the US and assessing the associated factors.
Dramatic differences in health care spending
The gap between the US states that spend the most and least on health is wide, and varied growth rates mean that the gap between those who spend the most and the least is only increasing. More than 45% of the differences in health spending can be explained by income and regional prices, but much of the variation remains unexplained.
Mapping local variation in household overcrowding across Africa from 2000 to 2018: a modeling study
In this study, we aimed to estimate household overcrowding in Africa between 2000 and 2018 by combining available household survey data, population censuses, and other country-specific household surveys within a geostatistical framework.
Measuring contraceptive method mix, prevalence, and demand satisfied by age and marital status in 204 countries and territories, 1970–2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
We present estimates of the contraceptive prevalence rate (CPR), modern contraceptive prevalence rate (mCPR), demand satisfied, and the method of contraception used for both partnered and unpartnered women for 5-year age groups in 204 countries and territories between 1970 and 2019.
Burden of diabetes and hyperglycaemia in adults in the Americas, 1990–2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
High prevalence of diabetes has been reported in the Americas, but no comprehensive analysis of diabetes burden and related factors for the region is available. We aimed to describe the burden of type 1 and type 2 diabetes and that of hyperglycaemia in the Americas from 1990 to 2019.
Population-level risks of alcohol consumption by amount, geography, age, sex, and year: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2020
Small amounts of alcohol might lower the risk of some health outcomes but increase the risk of others, suggesting that the overall risk depends, in part, on background disease rates, which vary by region, age, sex, and year.
Drinking alcohol has significant health risks for young people, small amounts may be beneficial for some older adults
New analysis suggests that recommendations for how much one can drink should be based on age and local disease rates.
County-level variation in the prevalence of visual acuity loss or blindness in the US
We provide estimates of visual acuity loss and blindness in the US by county.
Estimates, trends, and drivers of the global burden of type 2 diabetes attributable to PM2·5 air pollution, 1990–2019: an analysis of data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
In view of the high and increasing prevalence of diabetes, we aimed to quantify the burden of type 2 diabetes attributable to PM2·5 originating from ambient and household air pollution.
Health care spending effectiveness: estimates suggest that spending improved US health from 1996 to 2016
We report US spending-effectiveness ratios, using comprehensive estimates of health care spending from the Disease Expenditure Project and DALYs from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017.
The vaccine-hesitant moment
Multiple surveys that were conducted to examine the sentiments concerning coronavirus disease 19 (Covid-19) vaccination have exposed new levels of volatility around vaccine hesitancy, particularly when the hesitancy is powered by digital media platforms.
Adolescent transport and unintentional injuries: a systematic analysis using the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
We sought to report comprehensive trends in injury-related mortality and morbidity for adolescents aged 10–24 years during the past three decades.
Changes in life expectancy and disease burden in Norway, 1990–2019: an analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
Using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) 2019, we examined regional differences in development and current state of health across Norwegian counties.
Life Expectancy for White, Black, and Hispanic Race/Ethnicity in U.S. States: Trends and Disparities, 1990 to 2019
We measured life expectancy at birth, by sex and year, for subgroups of people reporting Hispanic, non-Hispanic Black, or non-Hispanic White race/ethnicity.
The burden of antimicrobial resistance in G7 countries and globally
As per the latest estimates of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) on a global level, at least 1.27 million deaths per year are directly attributable to AMR.
Cost-effectiveness of rotavirus vaccination in children under five years of age in 195 countries: A meta-regression analysis
We used advances in meta-regression methods and estimates of vaccine efficacy by location to estimate incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) for rotavirus vaccination in 195 countries.
Global, regional, and national burden of hepatitis B, 1990–2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
We estimated the global, regional, and national prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV), as well as mortality and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) due to HBV, as part of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019.
Life expectancy by county, race, and ethnicity in the USA, 2000–19: a systematic analysis of health disparities
This analysis estimated life expectancy for five racial–ethnic groups, in 3,110 US counties over 20 years, to describe spatial–temporal variations in life expectancy and disparities between racial–ethnic groups.
Forecasting the Trajectory of the COVID-19 Pandemic under Plausible Variant and Intervention Scenarios: A Global Modelling Study
This paper samples across a range of potential variant-level characteristics to provide global forecasts of infections, hospitalisations, and deaths in the face of high (but waning) levels of past immunity, and evaluates a range of interventions that may diminish the impact of future waves.
Development assistance for human resources for health, 1990–2020
The objective of this study is to examine progress on implementing the Global Strategy by updating previous analyses that estimated and examined official development assistance targeted towards human resources for health.
Public health utility of cause of death data: applying empirical algorithms to improve data quality
We identify the pattern of garbage-coded deaths in the world and present the methods used to determine their redistribution to generate more plausible cause of death assignments.
