Mapping age- and sex-specific HIV prevalence in adults in sub-Saharan Africa, 2...
Haeuser, E; Serfes, AL; Cork, MA; Yang, M; Abbastabar, H; Abhilash, ES; Adabi, M; Adebayo, OM; Adekanmbi, V; Adeyinka, DA; Afzal, S; Ahinkorah, BOBackground: Human immunodeficiency virus and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is still among the leading causes of disease burden and mortality in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and the world is not on track to meet targets set for ending the epidemic by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Precise HIV burden information is...
The overlapping burden of the three leading causes of disability and death in s...
Reiner, RC; Welgan, CA; Troeger, CE; Baumann, MM; Weiss, DJ; Deshpande, A; Blacker, BF; Miller Petrie, MK; Earl, L; Bhatt, S; Abolhassani, HDespite substantial declines since 2000, lower respiratory infections (LRIs), diarrhoeal diseases, and malaria remain among the leading causes of nonfatal and fatal disease burden for children under 5 years of age (under 5), primarily in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The spatial burden of each of these diseases has been estimated subnationally across SSA, yet no prior analyses have examined the pattern of their com...
Subnational mapping of HIV incidence and mortality among individuals aged 15–49...
Sartorius, B; VanderHeide, JD; Yang, M; Goosmann, EA; Hon, J; Haeuser, E; Cork, MA; Perkins, S; Jahagirdar, D; Schaeffer, LE; Serfes, AL; LeGrand, KEBackground. High-resolution estimates of HIV burden across space and time provide an important tool for tracking and monitoring the progress of prevention and control efforts and assist with improving the precision and efficiency of targeting efforts. We aimed to assess HIV incidence and HIV mortality for all second-level administrative units across sub-Saharan Africa. Methods. In this modelling study, we devel...
Estimating global injuries morbidity and mortality: methods and data used in th...
James, SL; Castle, CD; Dingels, ZV; Fox, JT; Hamilton, EB; Liu, Z; Roberts, NLS; Sylte, DO; Bertolacci, GJ; Cunningham, M; Henry, NJ; LeGrand, KEBackground. While there is a long history of measuring death and disability from injuries, modern research methods must account for the wide spectrum of disability that can occur in an injury, and must provide estimates with sufficient demographic, geographical and temporal detail to be useful for policy makers. The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2017 study used methods to provide highly detailed estimates of g...
Global injury morbidity and mortality from 1990 to 2017: results from the Globa...
James, SL; Castle, CD; Dingels, ZV; Fox, JT; Hamilton, EB; Liu, Z; S, Roberts, NL; Sylte, DO; Henry, NJ; LeGrand, KE; Abdelalim, A; Abdoli, ABackground Past research in population health trends has shown that injuries form a substantial burden of population health loss. Regular updates to injury burden assessments are critical. We report Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2017 Study estimates on morbidity and mortality for all injuries. Methods We reviewed results for injuries from the GBD 2017 study. GBD 2017 measured injury-specific mortality and year...
The global burden of childhood and adolescent cancer in 2017: an analysis of th...
Force, LM; Abdollahpour, I; Advani, SM; Agius, D; Ahmadian, E; Alahdab, F; Alam, T; Alebel, A; Alipour, V; Allen, CA; Almasi-Hashiani, A; Alvarez, EMBackground Accurate childhood cancer burden data are crucial for resource planning and health policy prioritisation. Model-based estimates are necessary because cancer surveillance data are scarce or non-existent in many countries. Although global incidence and mortality estimates are available, there are no previous analyses of the global burden of childhood cancer represented in disability-adjusted life-years...
