TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive update of disease burden worldwide incorporating a systematic reassessment of disease and injury-specific epidemiology has been done since the 1990 study, and the authors aimed to calculate disease burden globally and for 21 regions for 1990, 2005, and 2010 with methods to enable meaningful comparisons over time.

TL;DR: The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2010 (GBD 2010) as discussed by the authors examined the patterns of health loss in the UK, the leading preventable risks that explain some of these patterns, and how UK outcomes compare with a set of comparable countries in the European Union and elsewhere in 1990 and 2010.

TL;DR: The comparison of Iran with 19 countries in terms of an important set of population health and disease metrics shows that Iran can learn from the experience of a number of these countries to devise and execute the required strategies to reduce NCDs.

TL;DR: Naghavi et al. as discussed by the authors performed a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015 and found that global, regional, national, and selected subnational levels of stillbirths, neonatal, infant, and under-5 mortality, 1980-2015, were significantly higher than national levels.
