Anemia prevalence in women of reproductive age in low- and middle-income countr...
Kinyoki, D; Osgood-Zimmerman, AE; Bhattacharjee, NV; Schaeffer, LE; Lazzar-Atwood, A; Lu, D; Ewald, SB; Donkers, KM; Letourneau, ID; Collison, MAnemia is a globally widespread condition in women and is associated with reduced economic productivity and increased mortality worldwide. Here we map annual 2000–2018 geospatial estimates of anemia prevalence in women of reproductive age (15–49 years) across 82 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), stratify anemia by severity and aggregate results to policy-relevant administrative and national levels. Addi...
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...

Roth, GA; Abate, D; Abate, KH; Abay, SM; Abbafati, C; Abbasi, N; Abbastabar, H; Abd-Allah, L; Abdela, J; Abdelalim, A; Abdollahpour, I; Abdulkader, RSBackground Global development goals increasingly rely on country-specific estimates for benchmarking a nation's progress. To meet this need, the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2016 estimated global, regional, national, and, for selected locations, subnational cause-specific mortality beginning in the year 1980. Here we report an update to that study, making use of newly availa...
Burden of cancer in the Eastern Mediterranean Region, 2005–2015: findings from ...
Alsharif, U; El Bcheraoui, C; Khalil, I; Charara, R; Moradi-Lakeh, M; Afshin, A; Collison, M; Chew, A; Krohn, K; Daoud, F; Dicker, D; Foreman, KObjectives: To estimate incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) caused by cancer in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) between 2005 and 2015. Methods: Vital registration system and cancer registry data from the EMR region were analyzed for 29 cancer groups in 22 EMR countries using the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015 methodology. Results: In 2015, cancer was responsible for 9.4%...

Fitzmaurice, C; Akinyemiju, T; Al Lami, F; Alam, T; Alizadeh-Navaei, R; Allen, C; Alsharif, U; Alvis-Guzman, N; Amini, E; Anderson, B; Aremu, OImportance: The increasing burden due to cancer and other noncommunicable diseases poses a threat to human development, which has resulted in global political commitments reflected in the Sustainable Development Goals as well as the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Action Plan on Non-Communicable Diseases. To determine if these commitments have resulted in improved cancer control, quantitative assessments...
