Global epidemiology of early-onset liver cancer attributable to specific aetiologies and risk factors from 2010 to 2019.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Considering its emergence as a public health concern worldwide, with potential spatial-temporal heterogeneities, we aimed to determine the global burden of early-onset liver cancer attributable to aetiologies and concomitant risk factors.

Methods

We used data from the Global Burden of Diseases Study 2019 to determine age-standardised disability-adjusted life-year (DALY) rates for early-onset liver cancer by aetiologies and the population DALYs attributable to concomitant risk factors between 2010 and 2019. We also calculated estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) to measure temporal trends.

Results

There were 2.9 million DALYs related to early-onset liver cancer globally in 2019. East Asia contributed over half of DALYs, which increased annually by 1.2
