The burden of neurological disorders across the states of India: The Global Burden of Disease Study 1990–2019
The Lancet Global Health Jul 24, 2021
Singh G, Sharma M, Kumar GA, et al. - This study was intended to describe a comprehensive analysis of the disease burden and trends of neurological disorders at the state level in India. Researchers calculated the prevalence or incidence and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) for neurological disorders from 1990 to 2019 for all states of India as part of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2019 using all accessible data from multiple sources. They evaluated the contribution of each neurological disorder to deaths and DALYs in India in 2019, their trends in prevalence or incidence and DALY rates over time, and heterogeneity between the states of India. They further investigated the Pearson correlation coefficient between the Socio-demographic Index of the states and the prevalence or incidence and DALY rates of each neurological disorder. This study’s findings demonstrate that the increasing contribution of non-communicable and injury-related neurological disorders to the overall disease burden in India, and the substantial state-level variation in the burden of many neurological disorders indicate the need for state-specific health system responses to address the gaps in neurology services related to awareness, early identification, treatment, and rehabilitation.
