Global, regional, and national burden of 10 digestive diseases in 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2019.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Digestive diseases are very common worldwide and account for considerable health care use and expenditures. However, there are no global population-based estimates of the disease burden and temporal trend of digestive diseases.

Methods

Annual case numbers, age-standardized rates of prevalence, incidence, death, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), and their estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) for digestive diseases between 1990 and 2019 were derived from the Global Burden of Disease, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019. The association between digestive disease burden and the sociodemographic index (SDI) was investigated. We also calculated DALYs attributable to risk factors that had evidence of causation with digestive diseases.
