The burden of asthma in children aged ۰-۱۴ years in Asia: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study ۲۰۱۹

Asthma is the most common chronic disease in children and imposes a huge burden on the health system of countries. The aim of the present study is to investigate the burden of asthma disease in children in Asia during ۱۹۹۰-۲۰۱۹. All data sources from the Global Burden of Disease study (۲۰۱۹) were used to estimate the breast cancer prevalence, mortality, disability-adjusted life years and asthma in children aged ۰-۱۴ years in Asia from ۱۹۹۰ to ۲۰۱۹. We estimated all-cause and cause-specific mortality, years of life lost (YLLs), years lived with disability (YLDs), disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and attributable risks. There is a positive and significant correlation between human development index (HDI) and disease incidence in both sexes (r = ۰.۴۱۷, P<۰.۰۵), and this correlation is positive and significant in both females (r = ۰.۴۰۱, P <۰.۰۵) and males (r = ۰.۴۲۰, P <۰.۰۵). There is also a significant negative correlation between HDI and disease mortality in both sexes (r = -۰.۴۷۵, P <۰.۰۵) and this negative correlation is significant in females (r = -۰.۴۵۹, P <۰.۰۵) and males (r = - ۰.۴۸۳, P <۰.۰۵). The study of YLDs showed that there is a significant negative correlation HDI and YLL in both sexes (r = -۰.۴۷۴, P<۰.۰۵), and in women (r= -۰.۴۵۶) and men (r=-۰.۴۸۳, P<۰.۰۵). Given that YLL is higher in countries with low HDI, greater attention must be paid to reduce incidence and premature death attributable to the asthma in these countries.
