A burden of nerve injury from a global perspective, 1990-2021: an analysis of incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To provide a solid foundation for the prevention, treatment, and reduction of the incidence of nerve injury, we explain and update the changes in the epidemiology of nerve injury from 1990 to 2021.

Methods

We did our analysis employing the 2021 Global Burden of Disease, Injury and Risk Factor Study to calculate the incidence, prevalence and YLDs of nerve injury between 1990 and 2021 at the global, regional and national levels. The analysis was done according to gender, age group and region in layers.

Results

In 2021, globally, there were 4.13 million [95% uncertainty interval (UI): 3.11-5.56] instances of nerve injury, featuring an age-standardized incidence and prevalence of 53 cases per 100,000 people, respectively (95% UI: 40-72) and 51 cases per 100,000
