Comprehensive analysis of the global, regional, and national burden of benign prostatic hyperplasia from 1990 to 2021.

ABSTRACT: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common urological condition affecting elderly men worldwide. In 2021, there were 112,502 (95% UI: 88,131.8-142,634.2) thousand prevalent cases globally, compared to 50,705.8 (95% UI: 38,735.5-65,693.4) thousand cases in 1990, representing a 122% increase. Over the past 30 years, the burden of BPH in low and low-middle socio-demographic index (SDI) regions have shown an upward trend and is projected to continue increasing over the next 15 years. Middle-SDI regions are facing the heaviest absolute burden of BPH. Despite declining prevalence, incidence, and disability-adjusted life years rates in high-middle SDI regions, the absolute BPH burden remains high, ranking second among the five SDI regions. In contrast, high-SDI regions exhibit a relatively lo
