Summary: This study presents the findings of road injuries in Mexico from 1990 to 2019, based on the Global Burden of Disease study. Despite a decrease in road injury mortality and DALY rates at a national level, there has been stagnation since 2011. Men across all age groups carry a heavier burden of road injuries, with pedestrian and motor vehicle road injuries accounting for the highest DALY rate in both genders.

Summary: China has the highest burden of pneumoconiosis in the world, with the number of new cases and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) continuously increasing. While the incidence and death rates of pneumoconiosis have declined, regional disparities still exist. Reducing the burden of pneumoconiosis remains an urgent task in China.

Summary: Based on the study, there will be a substantial increase in the number of thyroid cancer patients in China over the next two decades, while the mortality rate is expected to decline slightly. Rational health policies are needed to address the increasing number of patients, especially among males and adolescents.

Summary: Injuries have been a major cause of premature mortality and disability in Mexico, with deaths increasing significantly while age-standardized mortality rates trended towards declines. Interpersonal violence, road injuries, falls, and self-harm accounted for the majority of deaths from injury in 2019. Despite a decrease in injury burden nationally and in most states, there have been increases since 2007, indicating a need for further injury prevention efforts at both national and subnational levels.

Summary: This study directly assessed the incidence of dementia, DALYs, and cost of care among community-dwelling Filipino elderly. The findings revealed a high incidence rate of dementia, significant economic burden of dementia care on families, and provide valuable insights for guiding the development of a national dementia plan.

Summary: This study compared burden estimates and methods of the Australian Burden of Disease Study (ABDS) and the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBDS). The differences in estimates reflect the different purposes and strategies of the two studies. The GBDS provides a useful tool for international comparisons, while national studies like the ABDS have the advantage of meeting local needs and accessing unpublished data. It is important to assess the quality and appropriateness of all data sources, inputs, and models.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the cancer burden of the elderly in China, and the results showed that the burden decreased from 2005 to 2016. The non-fatal burden was higher in rural elderly compared to urban elderly. Lung, gastric, liver, esophageal, and colorectal cancers were the main causes of cancer burden in the elderly. Breast and liver cancer were more burdensome in younger elderly, while colorectal cancer burden was mainly observed in older elderly.

Summary: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the most common chronic respiratory disease in the world, particularly in China. Although there is a downward trend of COPD DALY in China and its provinces, some provinces still face challenges. Smoking and air pollution are the main risk factors, which vary by region, gender, and age. Predictions for the next 10 years show that ASR attributable to smoking may significantly increase among men, ASR attributable to air pollution may significantly decrease in women, but ASR attributable to second-hand smoke may increase in women.

Summary: Cancer is a major cause of death globally, posing a significant burden on society. In China, it is a growing challenge for the healthcare system. This study analyzes recent data on cancer incidence, mortality, and survival rates in China in 2016, identifying key risk factors and discussing potential countermeasures for prevention and treatment.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the quality of care for lip and oral cavity cancer worldwide using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017. Through principal component analysis, a Quality-of-Care Index (QCI) was determined based on various measures. The results showed continuous improvement in care quality globally from 1990 to 2017, with variations between genders and regions. Alarmingly, some countries, particularly in Africa and Afghanistan, did not experience the same level of improvement as others, highlighting the need for better access to high-quality treatments and preventive measures.

Summary: The incidence of cervical cancer increased from 1990 to 2019, particularly in younger age groups, while the DALYs and mortality rate decreased. Age-specific rates showed higher incidence in younger age groups and lower DALYs and mortality rate in older age groups. Age, period, and cohort all had significant effects on the incidence of cervical cancer.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence, incidence, and mortality rate of stroke in China in 2020 using a nationally representative sample. The results showed that the overall burden of stroke in mainland China was 2.6%, with higher prevalence in urban areas and higher incidence and mortality rates in rural areas. These findings highlight the need for an improved stroke prevention strategy in China.

Summary: This study compared the prediction effects of ARIMA model, DNN model, and multivariate LSTM model to explore the appropriate model for predicting the disease burden of pneumoconiosis in Tianjin. The results showed that the multivariate LSTM model and DNN model performed better than the traditional ARIMA model.

Summary: This study investigated the allocation of healthcare budget and disease burden in different states of India. The findings revealed differences in healthcare budget allocation between states and different types of diseases. While most states increased their healthcare budget allocation and disease burden over the years, the allocated budget did not align with the increasing disease burden. Therefore, evidence-based expansion of healthcare resource allocation is needed in India.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the global patterns and trends of lung cancer. The burden of lung cancer is still unsatisfactory, especially in developing countries like China. The incidence and mortality rates of lung cancer vary among different countries and regions, with higher rates in men than in women. In developed countries such as the USA, the incidence of lung cancer has been decreasing, while in China, it has been increasing, particularly among individuals aged 50 to 59 years. Therefore, there is a need to strengthen health education, accelerate the establishment of tobacco control policies and regulations, and improve early cancer screening awareness to reduce the future burden of lung cancer.
