Burden and Trends of Aortic Aneurysms in Individuals Aged 55 and Older from 1990 to 2021: A Systematic Analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aims to assess the burden of aortic aneurysm (AA) among individuals aged 55 years and older from 1990 to 2021 at global, regional, and national levels.

Methods

Data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 were analyzed to estimate disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), deaths, age-standardized DALYs rates (ASDR), age-standardized mortality rates (ASMR), and average annual percentage change (AAPC) associated with AA. We employed Joinpoint regression to characterize temporal trends in the AA burden, decomposition analysis to quantify the contributions of key drivers, the Slope Index of Inequality (SII) and Concentration Index of Inequality (CII) to assess health disparities, frontier analysis to benchmark development-stratified achievable disease co
