Synopsis
The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) provides a systematic scientific assessment of published, publicly available, and contributed data on incidence, prevalence, and mortality for a mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive list of diseases and injuries. GBD estimates incidence, prevalence, mortality, years of life lost (YLLs), years lived with disability (YLDs), and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) due to 369 diseases and injuries, for two sexes, and for 204 countries and territories. In this webinar we are going to present the main GBD visualization tools that allow preliminary cross-sectional and longitudinal comparisons between countries/regions from 1990 to 2019. Specific examples using the main GBD visualization tool will be presented taking into account mortality, disease burden and risk factors. Furthermore, we are going to explore the GHDx online tool that allows the easy GBD data download in excel format.
