Attributable liver cancer deaths and disability-adjusted life years in China and worldwide: profiles and changing trends.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Liver cancer is a major health concern globally and in China. This analysis investigated deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) with respect to etiologies and risk factors for liver cancer in China and worldwide.

Methods

Global and China-specific data were collected on liver cancer deaths, DALYs, and age-standardized rates (ASRs) from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 database. Liver cancer etiologies were classified into five groups and risk factors were categorized into three levels. Each proportion of liver cancer burden was calculated in different geographic regions. The joinpoint regression model were used to assess the trends from 1990-2019.

Results

Liver cancer accounted for 484,577 deaths worldwide in 2019 with an ASR of 5.9 per 100,
