Global, regional, and national burden inequality of chronic kidney disease, 1990-2021: a systematic analysis for the global burden of disease study 2021.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant global health issue, often linked to diabetes, hypertension, and glomerulonephritis. However, aggregated statistics can obscure heterogeneity across subtypes, age, gender, and regions. This study aimed to analyze global CKD trends from 1990 to 2021, focusing on age, gender, socio-demographic index (SDI), and regional variations.

Methods

Data were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 database, covering prevalence, incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). These were presented as counts per 100,000 population and age-standardized rates, with uncertainty intervals (UIs) to highlight variability. Joinpoint regression was used to assess trends over the 30-year period.
