Journal ArticleDOI

Global, regional, and national incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability for 310 diseases and injuries, 1990–2015: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015

Theo Vos, +699 more
- 08 Oct 2016 - 
TL;DR: The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2015 (GBD 2015) as discussed by the authors was used to estimate the incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability for diseases and injuries at the global, regional, and national scale over the period of 1990 to 2015.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global, regional, and national life expectancy, all-cause mortality, and cause-specific mortality for 249 causes of death, 1980–2015: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015

Haidong Wang, +844 more

TL;DR: The Global Burden of Disease 2015 Study provides a comprehensive assessment of all-cause and cause-specific mortality for 249 causes in 195 countries and territories from 1980 to 2015, finding several countries in sub-Saharan Africa had very large gains in life expectancy, rebounding from an era of exceedingly high loss of life due to HIV/AIDS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estimates of global, regional, and national morbidity, mortality, and aetiologies of diarrhoeal diseases: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015

Christopher Troeger, +67 more
- 01 Sep 2017 - 
TL;DR: Diarrhoea remains a largely preventable disease and cause of death, and continued efforts to improve access to safe water, sanitation, and childhood nutrition will be important in reducing the global burden of diarrhoeal disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estimates of the global, regional, and national morbidity, mortality, and aetiologies of diarrhoea in 195 countries: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016

Christopher Troeger, +128 more
- 01 Nov 2018 - 
TL;DR: Substantial progress has been made globally in reducing the burden of diarrhoeal diseases, driven by decreases in several primary risk factors, however, this reduction has not been equal across locations, and burden among adults older than 70 years requires attention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pathogen-specific burdens of community diarrhoea in developing countries: a multisite birth cohort study (MAL-ED).

James A Platts-Mills, +36 more
- 01 Sep 2015 - 
TL;DR: The findings suggest that although single-pathogen strategies have an important role in the reduction of the burden of severe diarrhoea disease, the effect of such interventions on total diarrhoeal incidence at the community level might be limited.
