To provide a better insight into the differences in the level of social, cultural, and economic factors, the Socio-Demographic Index (SDI) was used.<h4>Results</h4>In the NAME region in 2019, the number of deaths attributed to kidney dysfunction was 296 632 (95% uncertainty interval: 249 965-343 962), which was about 2.5 times higher than in the yearClinical kidney journalsfad279https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC10823484biostudies-literatureMortality and disability-adjusted life years in North Africa and Middle East attributed to kidney dysfunction: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019.PMC10823484Nejadghaderi SAMallhi THAbbasi-Kangevari ZKarasneh RAJahrami HSamy AMTaherkhani AFeizkhah AMokdad AHBaghcheghi NElHafeez SAEl-Huneidi WKhatatbeh MMMobayen MAbbasi-Kangevari MRashedi SAhmed AGhadirian FOkati-Aliabad HDehghan AMomtazmanesh SJayapal SKRezaei NIrilouzadian RShorofi SAHezam KAl-Tammemi ABHosseini MSAthari SSHassankhani HMalekpour MRRashidi MMAl-Azzam SMahmoodpoor AAbu-Gharbieh EHeidari-Foroozan MSaad AMASaki MShaker EShetty JKAbdoun MYigit AKuddus MKhan MABAthar MMohammadi ENaghavi MMohammadi FSaeedi Moghaddam SKompani FBaradaran HREsfahani ZZangiabadian MDehkordi JAAl-Raddadi RMKeykhaei MYazdanpanah FTabish MCampos LAAbd-Elsalam SBhagavathula ASMurray CJLKhalaji AAhmad ABabamohamadi HSharif-Askari FSMoghaddam SSMohan SMalik AAFatehizadeh AElhadi MBabaei MFarzadfar FGBD 2019 NAME Kidney Dysfunction Risk Factor CollaboratorsAmir-Behghadami MKoohestani HRLarijani BVahabi SMHoveidamanesh SRad EMHessami KNatto ZSUmair MArabloo JHashemi MBBagherieh SJamialahmadi TMahjoub SGholami ASahebkar AHamidi SRashidi MAzadnajafabad SKhan YHBhojaraja VSRashidi AZahir MRedwan EMMfalseMortality and disability-adjusted life years in North Africa and Middle East attributed to kidney dysfunction: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019.<h4>Background</h4>The study aimed to estimate the attributable burden to kidney dysfunction as a metabolic risk factor in the North Africa and Middle East (NAME) region and its 21 countries in 1990-2019.<h4>Methods</h4>The data used in this study were obtained from the Global Burden of Diseases (GBD) 2019 study, which provided estimated measures of deaths, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and other epidemiological indicators of burden.
