Global, regional and national epidemiology of myocarditis: health inequalities, risk factors and forecasted burden based on the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Myocarditis is a global epidemic that causes various medical conditions associated with an increased incidence and death numbers. This study aimed to investigate the trends in myocarditis-associated incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) with health inequalities, risk factors, and predict the disease burden, thereby mitigating the health hazards of myocarditis.

Methods

This was a modelling study that used data from the Global Burden of Diseases 2021, from which myocarditis was included in the analysis. Incidence, death, DALYs, age-standardised incidence rate (ASIR), age-standardised mortality rate (ASMR), age-standardised DALYs rate (ASDR), cases change, corresponding estimated annual percentage change (EAPC), Slope Inequality of Index (S
