Global age-sex-specific mortality, life expectancy, and population estimates in...
Schumacher, AE; Kyu, HH; Aali, A; Abbafati, C; Abbas, J; Abbasgholizadeh, R; Abbasi, MA; Abbasian, M; Abd ElHafeez, S; Abdelmasseh, M; Abd Elsalam, SBackground: Estimates of demographic metrics are crucial to assess levels and trends of population health outcomes. The profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on populations worldwide has underscored the need for timely estimates to understand this unprecedented event within the context of long-term population health trends. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 provides n...
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...
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%...
Trends in HIV/AIDS morbidity and mortality in Eastern Mediterranean countries, ...
El Bcheraoui, C; Wang, H; Charara, R; Khalil, I; Moradi-Lakeh, M; Afshin, A; Collison, M; Daoud, F; Chew, A; Krohn, K; Carter, A; Foreman, K; He, FObjectives: We used the results of the Global Burden of Disease 2015 study to estimate trends of HIV/AIDS burden in Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) countries between 1990 and 2015. Methods: Tailored estimation methods were used to produce final estimates of mortality. Years of life lost (YLLs) were calculated by multiplying the mortality rate by population by age-specific life expectancy. Years lived with di...
Global, Regional, and National Cancer Incidence, Mortality, Years of Life Lost,...
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...
