The burden of primary liver cancer caused by specific etiologies from 1990 to 2019 at the global, regional, and national levels.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Liver cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. We aimed to report the burden of liver cancer at the global, regional, and national levels in 204 countries from 1990 to 2019, stratified by etiology, sex, age, and sociodemographic index (SDI).

Methods

Data of mortality, incidence, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of liver cancer and its etiology were available from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors (GBD) Study 2019. The trends in the liver cancer burden were assessed by the annual percentage change. All estimates are presented as numbers and age-standardized rates (ASRs) per 100,000 population, with uncertainty intervals (UIs).

Results

Globally, 484,577 (95% UI 444,091-525,798) mortalities, 534,364 (486,550-588,639
