The burden of alcoholic cardiomyopathy in China and different regions around the world.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Alcoholic cardiomyopathy (ACM) remains a significant public health issue with a growing global burden. The burden of ACM in China and different regions remains poorly understood.

Methods

Data on ACM deaths, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), the corresponding global age-standardized death rate (ASDR), age-standardized DALY rate and estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) were analysed based on age, sex, socio-demographic index (SDI) quintiles, different regions and in China from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study 2019.

Results

Globally, the death rate and DALYs due to ACM were 71 723 and 2 441 108 in 2019, 33.06% and 38.79% increase from 1990, respectively. The corresponding ASDR and age-standardized DALY rate decreased with EAPC of -1.52 (95%
