“…In analyses by region, the 21 GBD regions were categorized by the mean age of death, which reflects both population agestructure and age-specific death rates and is a simple summary measure of the demographic and epidemiological transition (Murray et al, 2012b;Wang et al, 2012).…”

Global Burden of Oral Conditions in 1990-2010

The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2010 Study produced comparable estimates of the burden of 291 diseases and injuries in 1990, 2005, and 2010. This article reports on the global burden of untreated caries, severe periodontitis, and severe tooth loss in 2010 and compares those figures with new estimates for 1990. We used disabilityadjusted life-years (DALYs) and years lived with disability (YLDs) metrics to quantify burden. Oral conditions affected 3.9 billion people, and untreated caries in permanent teeth was the most prevalent condition evaluated for the entire GBD 2010 Study (global prevalence of 35% for all ages combined). Oral conditions combined accounted for 15 million DALYs globally (1.9% of all YLDs; 0.6% of all DALYs), implying an average health loss of 224 years per 100,000 population. DALYs due to oral conditions increased 20.8% between 1990 and 2010, mainly due to population growth and aging. While DALYs due to severe periodontitis and untreated caries increased, those due to severe tooth loss decreased. DALYs differed by age groups and regions, but not by genders. The findings highlight the challenge in responding to the diversity of urgent oral health needs worldwide, particularly in developing communities.

“…Luego, en menor proporción, les siguieron las causas infecciosas (en Argentina, representan un porcentaje marginal) y, en tercer lugar, las malformaciones congénitas (segunda causa de mortalidad neonatal en Argentina). 15,16 En la mortalidad posneonatal, en todo el mundo, predominaron las defunciones debidas a enfermedades infecciosas en los años analizados (62,8% en el año 1990 y 48,6% en el año 2010). Luego se observaron las enfermedades tropicales y la malaria, las deficiencias nutricionales, las afecciones perinatales, las anomalías congénitas y las causas externas (de 5% a 10% cada una, cada año).…”

“…La estructura de causas de mortalidad posneonatal fue particularmente diferente en Argentina, donde la primera causa fueron las malformaciones congénitas, luego las enfermedades respiratorias, las afecciones perinatales, después las enfermedades infecciosas y parasitarias y las causas externas. 15,16 El menor peso relativo de las enfermedades infecciosas, parasitarias, respiratorias y por desnutrición en Argentina, en comparación con la estructura de causas de muerte infantil en el mundo, evidencia que nuestro país se encuentra en una etapa de mayor desarrollo. 17 Es importante señalar que la estructura de causas de la mortalidad infantil en el mundo está fuertemente determinada por la estructura de causas de las defunciones infantiles en Asia y África, que representan más del 90% de las muertes en el primer año de vida en el mundo.…”

“…Injuries are the leading cause of years of life lost and disability-adjusted life-years in Oman [1,2], where the age-standardized mortality due to injuries is 53 per 100,000 population. Injuries place a considerable burden on the healthcare system; in 2013, injuries were recorded at a rate of 877 per 10,000 population across all Ministry of Health (MOH) institutions [3].…”

Background: Trauma registries (TRs) play a vital role in the assessment of trauma care, but are often underutilized in countries with a high burden of injuries. Objectives: We investigated whether information and communications technology (ICT) such as mobile health (mHealth) could enable the design of a tablet-based application for healthcare professionals. This would be used to inform trauma care and acquire surveillance data for injury control and prevention in Oman. This paper focuses on documenting the implementation process in a healthcare setting. Methods: The study was conducted using an ICT implementation framework consisting of multistep assessment, development and pilot testing of an electronic tablet-based TR. The pilot study was conducted at two large hospitals in Oman, followed by detailed evaluation of the process, system and impact of implementation. Results: The registry was designed to provide comprehensive information on each trauma case from the location of injury until hospital discharge, with variables organized to cover 11 domains of demographic and clinical information. The pilot study demonstrated that the registry was user friendly and reliable, and the implementation framework was useful in planning for the Omani hospital setting. Data collection by trained and dedicated nurses proved to be more feasible, efficient and reliable than real-time data entry by care providers. Conclusions: The initial results show the promising potential of a user-friendly, comprehensive electronic TR through the use of mHealth tools. The pilot test in two hospitals indicates that the registry can be used to create a multicenter trauma database.
