Trends and levels of the global, regional, and national burden of injuries from 1990 to 2021: findings from the global burden of disease study 2021.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objectives

Injuries remain a major global public health challenge. This study aimed to analyze the global, regional, and national burden of injuries from 1990 to 2021 and project future trends to 2046, addressing a gap in long-term trend analyses and projections accounting for demographic shifts.

Patients/materials and methods

We conducted an observational analysis using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2021, covering 204 countries and territories. We extracted data on injury incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). Age-standardized rates (ASRs) were calculated. Temporal trends (1990-2021) were assessed using estimated annual percentage change (EAPC). Future burden (2022-2046) was projected using statistical m
