Global disease burden attributable to kidney dysfunction, 1990–2019: A health inequality and trend analysis based on the global burden of disease study
Authors' conclusion
The disease burden of KD remained serious. Tailored interventions should be developed based on national contexts.
Study context
- Population
- Global population, Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 data on deaths, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), years lived with disability (YLDs) and years of life lost (YLLs) attributable to kidney dysfunction (KD), cross-country comparisons
Methodological detailsJoinpoint regression, slope index and concentration index, age-period-cohort projection
- Joinpoint regression
- Slope index and concentration index
- Age-period-cohort projection
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
Burden attributable to KD: deaths, DALYs, YLDs and YLLs · past three decades
- Deaths increased
- from 1,571,720 to 3,161,552
- DALYs increased
- from 42,090,331 to 76,486,945
- YLDs increased
- from 5,003,267 to 11,282,484
- YLLs increased
- from 37,087,065 to 65,204,461
- Slope index for DALYs increased
- from 248.1 to 351.9
- Concentration index for DALYs increased
- from 40.70 to 57.8
Further findings
Cross-country inequality in DALYs
- Slope index increased
- 248.1 to 351.9
- Concentration index increased
- 40.70 to 57.8
Projected future trend
- Age-standardized rates of deaths, DALYs, YLDs and YLLs will remain stable; numbers will continue to rise, except YLLs
