| dc.description | Injuries impose a considerable burden on public health, leading to more than 3200 disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) per 100,000 people in 2019.1 According to the cause hierarchy of the Global Burden of Diseases (GBD) study, injuries are subcategorized into three groups: Unintentional injuries (occurs unplanned or caused by external factors; e.g. falls), transport injuries (including road and non-road transport injuries), and self-harm and interpersonal violence (injuries deliberately inflicted on oneself or that are due to the intentional use of physical force from another person; e.g. sexual violence).2 Each of the subcategories contributed to more than two percent of global deaths and 2.5 percent of global DALYs in 2019.1 | |
| dc.description.abstract | Objectives: In this study, the trends and current situation of the injury burden as well as attributable burden to injury risk factors at global, regional, and national levels based on the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019 are presented. Study design: To assess the attributable burden of injury risk factors, the data of interest on data sources were retrieved from the Global Health Data Exchange (GHDx) and analyzed. Methods: Cause-specific death from injuries was estimated using the Cause of Death Ensemble model in the GBD 2019. The burden attributable to each injury risk factor was incorporated in the population attributable fraction to estimate the total attributable deaths and disability-adjusted life years. The Socio-demographic Index (SDI) was used to evaluate countries’ developmental status. Results: Globally, there were 713.9 million (95% uncertainty interval [UI]: 663.8 to 766.9) injuries incidence and 4.3 million (UI: 3.9 to 4.6) deaths caused by injuries in 2019. There was an inverse relationship between age-standardized disability-adjusted life year rate and SDI quintiles in 2019. Overall, low bone mineral density was the leading risk factor of injury deaths in 2019, with a contribution of 10.5% (UI: 9.0 to 11.6) of total injuries and age-standardized deaths, followed by occupational risks (7.0% [UI: 6.3–7.9]) and alcohol use (6.8% [UI: 5.2 to 8.5]). Conclusion: Various risks were responsible for the imposed burden of injuries. This study highlighted the small but persistent share of injuries in the global burden of diseases and injuries to provide beneficial data to produce proper policies to reach an effective global injury prevention plan.
