Epidemiology of neonatal disorders attributable to low birthweight-global burden of disease research, 1990-2021.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To evaluate global, regional, and national trends in the burden of neonatal diseases attributable to LBW, as well as associated health inequalities, from 1990 to 2021.

Methods

Using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD2021), we analyzed deaths and DALYs due to LBW-attributable neonatal diseases. Data were stratified by gender, geographic region, epidemiological characteristics, and SDI levels. Trends and influencing factors were investigated through Joinpoint regression, health inequality analysis, and frontier modeling.

Results

In 2021, the global age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) and age-standardized disability-adjusted life year (DALY) rate (ASDR) for neonatal diseases associated with low birth weight (LBW) were 22.76 [95% uncertainty i
