Global burden of paralytic ileus and intestinal obstruction, 1990-2021: a GBD 2021 analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Paralytic ileus and intestinal obstruction (PI&IO) are significant global surgical emergencies associated with high morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to comprehensively assess the global, regional, and national burden of PI&IO from 1990 to 2021.

Methods

We used data from the Global Burden of Diseases Study (GBD) 2021, covering 204 countries and territories. We estimated the number of incident cases and years of life lost (YLLs), along with age-standardized incidence rates (ASIR) and age-standardized YLLs rates (ASYR), each with corresponding 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs). Analyses were stratified by age, sex, region, and Socio-demographic Index (SDI).

Results

In 2021, there were approximately 15.8 million PI&IO cases (95% UI: 15.2-16.3 million) and 6
