Burden of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning in Asian Countries From 1990 to 2021 and Its Projection Until 2030: An Analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 by Xie J, Wu C, Zhao Z, Cao Z, Jin X

“…The variations in burden were analyzed according to year, gender, location, age, and Socio-Demographic Index (SDI). Analyses included Joinpoint analysis to evaluate temporal trends, the age-period-cohort model to assess disease burden trends, the slope index of inequality and concentration index for assessing health disparities, frontier analysis for estimating potential outcomes based on developmental stages, and the auto-regressive integrated moving average model to predict the disability-adjusted life year (DALY) rates.Results: During 1990– 2021, the age-standardized incidence rate (average annual percent change (AAPC) = − 0.83, 95% CI: − 0.94 to − 0.73), age-standardized mortality rate (AAPC = − 2.01, 95% CI: − 2.20 to − 1.81), and DALY rates (AAPC = − 2.39, 95% CI: − 2.54 to − 2.23) for CO poisoning across Asia declined. …”
