Pancreatic Cancer, Pancreatitis
Conditions
Brief summary
Using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021, the investigators analyzed age-standardized incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) for pancreatic cancer and pancreatitis in adults aged ≥70 years across 204 countries and territories, stratified by sex, Socio-Demographic Index (SDI), health system performance, and region. The investigators calculated estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs), applied age-period-cohort modelling, and used Bayesian models to project future burden. Attributable burdens for key risk factors were also estimated.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence | 1990-2021 | The number of new cases of a givencause during a given period in aspecified population. It is xpressed as the number of newcases in a year divided by the mid-year population size. |
| Deaths | 1990-2021 | Deaths occurring in a population during a certain time period. |
| Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) | 1990-2021 | The sum of years lost due to premature death (YLLs) and yearslived with disability (YLDs). DALYs are also defined as years of healthy life lost. |
