Comparative analysis of trends in the burden of pancreatitis in China and worldwide, 1990-2021.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Amidst global demographic aging patterns, understanding divergent trajectories of pancreatitis burden is crucial for health equity. This study compares China's pancreatitis burden (1990-2021) against global aggregates, focusing on age-sex stratification within aging populations.

Methods

Leveraging Global Burden of Disease 2021 datasets, we analyzed age-standardized rates (ASR) for incidence (ASIR), prevalence (ASPR), mortality (ASMR), and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs/ASDR). Joinpoint regression quantified temporal trends via average annual percentage changes (AAPC). Statistical significance was determined through 95% confidence intervals (CIs). GBD standardization protocols ensured comparability of sex-age stratified analyses.

Results
