1990 to 2016 estimates of prevalence, incidence, deaths, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) for 15 neurological disorder categories across 195 countries. The analysis was conducted by the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016 and authored by Benedict Michael of the University of Liverpool. It quantifies the contribution of 84 risk factors to the disease burden for these neurological conditions.
Use Cases
- Analyze trends in neurological disorder burden based on DALY and mortality estimates from 1990 to 2016.
- Compare the relative impact of different neurological disorders based on the provided percentage contributions to total DALYs.
- Investigate sex disparities in disease burden using the reported male-to-female ratios for different disorders.
- Study the attributable burden of risk factors for stroke, dementia, and epilepsy based on the quantified risk percentages.
Strengths
- Covers 195 countries and 15 distinct neurological disorder categories.
- Provides estimates for multiple metrics: prevalence, incidence, deaths, and DALYs from 1990 to 2016.
- Quantifies the contribution of 84 specific risks and risk combinations to the disease burden.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
