Global burden of myocarditis in adolescents and young adults, 1990-2019.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

Early myocarditis has increased the risk of heart failure, arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death. We aimed to estimate the global burden of myocarditis in adolescents and young adults from 1990 to 2019.

Methods

We analysed incident cases and the age-standardized rates of incidence, death, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYS) of myocarditis in 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2019 in young people (aged 15-39) from the Global Burden of Disease Study stratified by age and sex. Predictions up to 2030 were obtained via Norpred analysis.

Results

In 2019, the global number of myocarditis incident cases in adolescents and young adults increased to 1,265,800, with a 62.2% increase from 1990. The global incidence rate declined from 16.74
