TL;DR: Five key insights that are important for health, social, and economic development strategies have been distilled are distilled and are subject to the many limitations outlined in each of the component GBD capstone papers.

TL;DR: GBD 2016 provides an updated and expanded evidence base on where the world currently stands in terms of the health-related SDGs, and substantially revised the universal health coverage (UHC) measure, which focuses on coverage of essential health services, to also represent personal health-care access and quality for several non-communicable diseases.

TL;DR: The first global, high-resolution map of P falciparum malaria mortality and the first global prevalence and incidence maps since 2010 are presented and illustrated the rapid decline in burden between 2005 and 2017.

TL;DR: These results support global monitoring systems and can inform the optimisation of diagnosis and treatment where P vivax has most impact, and form the malaria estimates for the Global Burden of Disease 2017 study.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed trends in the fatal and non-fatal burden of tuberculosis over the past 25 years for 195 countries and territories, and assessed how observed tuberculosis incidence, prevalence and mortality differed from expected trends as predicted by the Socio-demographic Index (SDI), a composite indicator based on income per capita, average years of schooling and total fertility rate.
