Quality of care of peptic ulcer disease worldwide: A systematic analysis for the global burden of disease study 1990-2019.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) affects four million people worldwide annually and has an estimated lifetime prevalence of 5-10% in the general population. Worldwide, there are significant heterogeneities in coping approaches of healthcare systems with PUD in prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. Quantifying and benchmarking health systems' performance is crucial yet challenging to provide a clearer picture of the potential global inequities in the quality of care.

Objective

The objective of this study was to compare the health-system quality-of-care and inequities for PUD among age groups and sexes worldwide.

Methods

Data were derived from the Global Burden of Disease Study 1990-2019. Principal-Component-Analysis was used to combine age-standardized
