Sickle Cell Disorders Burden Trends in Sierra Leone, 1990-2023

Estimated annual percentage change in age-standardized rates of sickle cell disorders burden in Sierra Leone, 1990-2023. The data is derived from log-linear regression of modelled rates from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2023 study. It was authored by Monalisa M. J. Faulkner and last updated on June 4, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling long-term disease burden trends based on the 1990-2023 time series.
• Analyzing the annual percentage change in age-standardized rates for sickle cell disorders.
• Comparing disease burden estimates with other GBD 2023 data for Sierra Leone.
• Assessing the impact of public health interventions on sickle cell disorder rates over time.

Strengths

• Data covers a 34-year time span from 1990 to 2023.
• Estimates are age-standardized, allowing for population comparison.
• Derived from the authoritative Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2023 study.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
