the harmful use of alcohol inflicts great deal of social and economic losses on individuals and societies. given the increase in world population and the predicted increase in alcohol consumption, the alcohol related burden of disease progressively catches higher ranks in the list of factors threatening humans' life. it has been considered that the social and economic burden related to alcohol ...

The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2010 project is a massive effort to systematically describe the epidemiology of a wide array of major diseases, injuries and risk factors. It collates millions of observations and has involved collaboration of nearly 500 scientists from 50 countries. Just to give some idea of the size of the endeavour, the analysis has included 800 million deaths. It has taken...

BACKGROUND Increasing urbanisation and rising unhealthy lifestyle risk factors are contributing to a growing diabetes epidemic in South Africa. In 2000, a study estimated diabetes prevalence to be 5.5% in those aged over 30. Accurate, up-to-date information on the epidemiology and burden of disease due to diabetes and its sequelae is essential in the planning of health services for diabetes man...

To estimate the burden of disease population between 10-24 years old enrolled in SER JOVEN program a Colombian insurance company using disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs). Incidences were estimated from administrative claims data Mutual EPS. The ICD-10 codes main diagnosis identified and regrouped according to categories diseases reported global (GBD) study. life lost (YLL), difference age d...

As part of the updated assessment of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study, the World Health Organization (WHO) has provided an overview of the global and regional levels and patterns of causes of death. Based on this assessment, it is estimated that nearly 59 million people died in the world during 2004. Of these deaths, 60% were due to noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) (i.e. Group II conditi...

Subsequent to GBD publications, leadership four largest global spine societies agreed form SPINE20. This article introduces concept SPINE20, recommendations, and future this advocacy group linked G20 annual summits. Methods founders SPINE20 coordinated with Sau...

Objective: Prior epidemiological surveys revealed that Chile experiences a high burden of oral diseases. However, no prior study has reported estimates untreated dental caries, periodontitis, and edentulism over three-decade period for the country. Using Global Burden Diseases Study (GBD) 2019, objective this is to report trends prevalence, incidence, years-lived with disability (YLDs) due in C...

Years of life lost (YLLs) are estimated based on mortality and cause of death (CoD); therefore, it is necessary to accurately calculate CoD to estimate the burden of disease. The garbage code algorithm was developed by the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study to redistribute inaccurate CoD and enhance the validity of CoD estimation. This study aimed to estimate cause-specific mortality rates an...

INTRODUCTION We report the burden of disease and risk factors measured by causes of death, years of life lost attributable to premature mortality (YLLs), years of life lived with disability (YLDs), and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for 1990, 2005, and 2010 in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). METHODS We used the Global Burden of Diseases 2010 (GBD 2010) methodology to estimate the c...
