Global Burden and Trends in Incidence, Mortality, and Disability of Stomach Cancer From 1990 to 2017.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Stomach cancer is a serious global public health problem. The current burden of stomach cancer and its trends across time and location need to be understood to develop effective preventive strategies.

Methods

Data were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease study. The burden of stomach cancer and variations in time and geographical regions were assessed according to the age-standardized rate and estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) of the incidence and mortality rate between 1991 and 2017. We also investigated the associations between the relevant rates and sociodemographic index (SDI).

Results

Overall, the age-standardized incidence rate (EAPC = -1.36, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -1.47 to -1.25), age-standardized mortality rate (EAPC = -2.2, 9
