Global burden of plastic-surgery-related conditions, 1990-2021: a composition-aware analysis with projections to 2050.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Plastic surgery-related diseases impose a substantial and growing burden on global health systems, yet comprehensive estimates of their temporal trends and future projections remain scarce. This study aims to quantify the global, regional, and national burden of 12 plastic surgery-relevant conditions from 1990 to 2021 and to forecast their trajectories through 2050.

Method

Data were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021. We analyzed age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR), prevalence rate (ASPR), death rate (ASDR), and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) across 204 countries and territories. Estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) were calculated to evaluate temporal trends, and a Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) model was employed to proje
