Secular trends of epidemiologic patterns of chronic kidney disease over three decades: an updated analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 by Jing Liu, Xue Li, Yongping Liu, Xiaodong Sun, Xiaojin Feng, Ningning Hou, Zhenna Chen

“…Objectives To assess the characteristics of the global death burden imposed by chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the attributable risk factors from 1990 to 2019 to help inform a framework for policy discussions, resource allocation and research priorities.Design A population-based observational study.Setting The death data and relative risk factors were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2019 database.Main outcome measures Based on the GBD database, we estimated the death burden attributable to CKD stratified by sociodemographic index (SDI), geographic location, sex, age group, time period and risk factors from 1990 to 2019.Results Over three decade study period, the global number of CKD-related deaths increased from 0.60 million (95% uncertainty interval (UI): 0.57–0.63 million) in 1990 to 1.43 million (95% UI: 1.31–1.52 million) in 2019. …”
