The global burden of atopic dermatitis: lessons from the Global Burden of Disease Study 1990–2017*
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study provides an annually updated resource to study disease-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. OBJECTIVES: Here we present the burden estimates for atopic dermatitis (AD), including data from inception of the GBD project in 1990 until 2017. METHODS: Data on the burden of AD were obtained from the GBD Study. RESULTS: Atopic dermatitis (AD) ranks 15th among all nonfatal diseases and has the highest disease burden among skin diseases as measured by disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs). Overall, the global DALY rate for AD in 1990 was 121 [95% uncertainty interval (UI) 65·4-201] and remained similar in 2017 at 123 (95% UI 66·8-205). The three countries with the highest DALY rates of AD were Sweden (327, 95% UI 178-547), the UK (284, 95% UI 155-478) and Iceland (277, 95% UI 149-465), whereas Uzbekistan (85·1, 95% UI 45·2-144), Armenia (85·1, 95% UI 45·8-143) and Tajikistan (85·1, 95% UI 46·1-143) ranked lowest. CONCLUSIONS: The global prevalence rate of AD has remained stable from 1990 to 2017. However, the distribution of AD by age groups shows a bimodal curve with the highest peak in early childhood, decreasing in prevalence among young adults, and a second peak in middle-aged and older populations. We also found a moderate positive correlation between a country's gross domestic product and disease burden. GBD data confirm the substantial worldwide burden of AD, which has remained stable since 1990 but shows significant geographical variation. Lifestyle factors, partially linked to affluence, are likely important disease drivers. However, the GBD methodology needs to be developed further to incorporate environmental risk factors, such as ultraviolet exposure, to understand better the geographical and age-related variations in disease burden.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
