All-Cause and Cause-Specific Burden of Asthma in a Transitioning City in China: Population Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Understanding the impact of asthma on public health is crucial for evidence-based prevention and treatment strategies.

Objective

This study aimed to identify the causes of asthma-related mortality in Pudong, Shanghai, China, offering insights for managing similar regions or countries in transition.

Methods

Mortality statistics were obtained from the Vital Statistics System of Pudong for 2005-2021. Temporal patterns for the burden of asthma were examined. The crude mortality rate (CMR), age-standardized mortality rate by Segi's world standard population (ASMRW), and years of life lost (YLL) for both all-cause and asthma-specific deaths were computed. Mortality rates associating with aging and other variables were categorized using the decomposition technique
