Inequalities in disease burden and care quality of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 1990-2021: Findings from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the primary causes of significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. This study aimed to explore the cross-country inequalities by age, sex, and region in COPD's burden and care quality from 1990 to 2021.

Methods

We obtained data from the Global Burden of Disease 2021. Using age-standardised disability-adjusted life years rate (ASDR) per 100 000 population and quality of care index (QCI), we quantified the COPD burden and care quality, respectively. Applying the principal component analysis method, we calculated QCI scores, ranging from 0 to 100, where higher values indicate better care quality. We quantified temporal trends from 1990 to 2021 for ASDR and QCI by estimated annual percentage change (EAPC). Final
