Global, regional, and national temporal trend and patterns of change in the burden of leishmaniasis from 1990 to 2021: an analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Leishmaniasis is a globally prevalent parasitic disease caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania. This study utilizes Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 (GBD 2021) data to systematically evaluate the global, regional, and national epidemiological trends, thereby providing a scientific basis for optimizing the prevention and control strategies for leishmania infections.

Methods

Data from the GBD 2021 database were analyzed to evaluate trends in age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR), age-standardized prevalence rate (ASPR), age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR), and age-standardized disability-adjusted life-years rate (ASDR) for leishmaniasis across global, regional, and national levels, stratified by age, sex, and sociodemographic index (SDI).
