TL;DR: In the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (GBD 2013) as discussed by the authors, the authors used the GBD 2010 methods with some refinements to improve accuracy applied to an updated database of vital registration, survey, and census data.

TL;DR: In the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (GBD 2013) as mentioned in this paper, the authors estimated the quantities for acute and chronic diseases and injuries for 188 countries between 1990 and 2013.

TL;DR: Estimates of the global prevalence and incidence of chlamydia, gonorrhoea, trichomoniasis, and syphilis in adult women and men remain high, with nearly one million new infections with curable STI each day.

TL;DR: Genital HSV-1 burden can be substantial but varies widely by region, and future control efforts, including development of HSV vaccines, should consider the epidemiology of HSv-1 in addition toHSV-2, and especially the relative contribution of HS V-1 to genital infection.

TL;DR: Untreated maternal syphilis is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes and these findings can inform policy decisions on resource allocation for the detection of syphilis and its timely treatment in pregnant women.
