Disease burden and attributable risk factors of respiratory infections in China from 1990 to 2019.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There was lack of data on the burdens and trends of upper and lower respiratory infections (URIs and LRIs) over the past three decades in China.

Methods

We estimated the incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) due to upper and lower respiratory infections (URIs and LRIs) and attributable risk factors in China by a systematic analysis of the Global Burden of Disease 2019 study. Incidence, mortality, and DALYs were stratified by sex, age, and province. Risk factors for respiratory infections were analyzed from exposure data.

Findings

The age-standardized incidence rates of URIs and LRIs were 179,077 and 3926 per 100,000 persons in 2019, with a 7•52% and 35•07% decrease from 1990, respectively. Moreover, 2801 and 185,264 persons died o
