Global, regional, and national multiple myeloma burden from 1990 to 2021: a systematic analysis for of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common haematological malignancy worldwide. A comprehensive global analysis of MM based on diverse geographic locations and timeframes is lacking. This study aimed to provide the incidence, mortality rate, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of MM, from 1990 to 2021, focusing on the age structure and temporal trends of the disease burden.

Methods

This study analysed the most recent MM data (1990 to 2021) from 204 countries and territories obtained from the Global Burden of Disease database. MM incidence, age-standardised mortality rate (ASMR), and DALYs were stratified by age, sex, and region to accurately reflect epidemiological trends and disease burden. The correlation between age-standardised rates and social pop
