Time trends in thermal burns incidence among Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS), an age-period-cohort analysis from the GBD 2019.

ABSTRACT: Burns are a serious public health problem. Despite the decline in the global burden of burns, the burden of burns remains high in low- and middle-income regions, including BRICS countries. To analyse the trend of burn injury incidence in BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) from 1990 to 2019 and to provide a reference basis for burn injury prevention and management. Data were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease 2019 data, and an age‒period‒cohort model was used to analyse the burn injury incidence data of BRICS countries from 1990 to 2019 via the apc package of R 4.3.0 software. The incidence of burn injuries in BRICS countries decreased from 1990 to 2019, from 114.50 to 85.90 per 100,000, a decrease of 24.98%. Brazil had the largest decrease, 57.05%, and Chi
