Global burden and between-country inequalities in Turner syndrome from 1990 to 2021.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Turner syndrome (TS) seriously impacts women's health and quality of life, yet research on its global burden remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the burden and between-country inequalities of TS using global population data.

Material and methods

Data on prevalence, years lived with disability (YLDs), and incidence of TS were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 database for comprehensive analysis. Geographic and socioeconomic disparities were assessed using decomposition analysis, cross-country health inequality analysis, and frontier analysis. Future trends were projected using an autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model.

Results

In 2021, TS accounted for an estimated 531 784 (95% UI: 420 532-697 786) prevalent ca
