Global health inequalities in the burden of interstitial lung disease and pulmonary sarcoidosis from 1990 to 2021.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Interstitial lung disease and pulmonary sarcoidosis remain serious medical problems worldwide. This study aims to assess the global burden and health inequalities of interstitial lung disease and pulmonary sarcoidosis between 1990 and 2021.

Methods

Data on disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) due to interstitial lung disease and pulmonary sarcoidosis were obtained from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries and Risk Factors Study 2021. The slope index of inequality (SII) and concentration index were used to assess cross-national health inequality.

Results

There were 2,237,269 (95% uncertainty interval: 1,839,500 to 2,555,200) DALYs due to interstitial lung disease and pulmonary sarcoidosis in males and 1,804,881 DALYs (1,465,707 to 2,216,376) in females
