Global Burden of Early-Onset Ischemic Stroke, 1990-2021

1990-2021 global estimates for early-onset ischemic stroke incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021. The dataset includes analyses of health inequalities, national healthcare efficiency, and risk factor trends. It was authored by a figshare admin for Karger and last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing global and regional trends in stroke burden based on age-standardized incidence and mortality rates.
• Investigating health inequalities across countries and socio-demographic groups based on Slope Index of Inequality (SII) and Concentration Index (CII) metrics.
• Modeling the impact of metabolic and emerging risk factors like high LDL, hypertension, and high BMI on stroke incidence.
• Assessing national healthcare system efficiency in managing stroke burden using frontier analysis.

Strengths

• Data spans 31 years (1990-2021), providing a long-term trend analysis.
• Analysis includes multiple metrics: incidence, mortality, DALYs, and inequality indices.
• Risk factor analysis covers established (e.g., hypertension) and emerging (e.g., high ambient temperature) drivers.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic or source bias inherent to the Global Burden of Disease Study methodology.
