Global Myocarditis Burden in Adolescents and Young Adults, 1990-2021

Myocarditis burden data from the Global Burden of Disease study covers individuals aged 15-39 years from 1990 to 2021. The dataset includes metrics such as incidence, mortality, and Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs), stratified by region, country, age, sex, and Sociodemographic Index (SDI). It was authored by Le Zhao and published on figshare.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal trends in myocarditis incidence and mortality rates by region and country using the 1990-2021 time series.
• Model the relationship between Sociodemographic Index (SDI) and Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) to explore health equity across populations.
• Compare age-stratified and sex-stratified incidence and mortality rates to identify high-risk demographic subgroups.
• Forecast future disease burden through 2050 using historical trends in incidence and DALYs data.

Strengths

• Data is derived from the authoritative Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study.
• Provides specific 2021 global estimates, including 349,033 incident cases and 3,301 deaths.
• Stratified analysis by five key dimensions: region, country, age, sex, and SDI.

Limitations

• Dataset is very small at 77.0 KB, indicating limited raw data or summary-level tables only.
• Uncertainty intervals (UI) for key metrics suggest inherent estimation variance in the source GBD data.
• Rows and column details are unknown, limiting assessment of granularity and structure.
