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

349,033 incident cases of myocarditis were recorded globally in 2021 for individuals aged 15-39 years. The dataset contains global, regional, and national estimates for incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) from 1990 to 2021, stratified by age, sex, and sociodemographic index.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal trends in 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) across different age groups.
• Compare sex-specific burden metrics, such as incidence and mortality, to identify epidemiological disparities.
• Forecast future disease burden through 2050 using historical trends in incident cases and DALYs.

Strengths

• Provides 32 years of temporal coverage from 1990 to 2021 for longitudinal analysis.
• Includes estimates with 95% uncertainty intervals for key metrics like incident cases and deaths.
• Stratifies data by multiple dimensions: region, country, age, sex, and sociodemographic index (SDI).

Limitations

• Dataset size is 554.9 KB, indicating a limited scope of aggregated summary statistics rather than individual-level records.
• Rows and specific column structure are unknown, limiting detailed feature analysis.
• Data are modeled estimates from the GBD study, not raw clinical observations.
