The burden of aortic aneurysm in China from 1990 to 2019: findings from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Aortic aneurysm (AA) is a global public health concern. However, little is known about the disease burden of AA in China.

Methods

Following the general analytic strategy used in the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) 2019, we analyzed the mortality and years of life lost (YLLs) due to AA, stratified by sex, age, and province-level region in China from 1990 to 2019. The temporal trend of AA burden in China was analyzed and the main attributable risk factors for AA in China were also explored.

Results

In China, the total AA deaths were 17,038 (95% UI: 14,392-19,980) in 2019, an increase of 136.1% compared with that in 1990, with an age-standardized death rate (ASDR) of 0.93 (95% UI: 0.79-1.08) per 100,000 person-years in 2019, a decrease of 6.8%. Meanwhile
