A Nationwide, Population-based Prevalence Study of Genetic Muscle Disorders
(Karger Publishers, 2019)Background: Previous epidemiological studies of genetic muscle disorders have relied on medical records to identify cases and may be at risk of selection biases or have focused on selective population groups. Objectives: ... -
Burden of Neurodegenerative Diseases in the Eastern Mediterranean Region, 1990-2016: Findings From the Global Burden of Disease 2016 Study
(Wiley, 2019)BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) is experiencing a demographic shift towards rapid ageing at a time of political unrest. We aimed to estimate the burden of neurodegenerative disorders, and its ... -
Global, Regional, and National Burden of Epilepsy, 1990-2016: A Systematic Analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016
(Elsevier, 2019)Background Seizures and their consequences contribute to the burden of epilepsy because they can cause health loss (premature mortality and residual disability). Data on the burden of epilepsy are needed for health-care ... -
Global, Regional, and National Burden of Brain and Other Cns Cancer, 1990-2016: A Systematic Analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016
(Elsevier, 2019)Background Brain and CNS cancers (collectively referred to as CNS cancers) are a source of mortality and morbidity for which diagnosis and treatment require extensive resource allocation and sophisticated diagnostic and ... -
Global, Regional, and National Burden of Multiple Sclerosis 1990–2016: a Systematic Analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016
(Elsevier, 2019)Background Multiple sclerosis is the most common inflammatory neurological disease in young adults. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) provides a systematic method of quantifying various ... -
Global, Regional, and National Burden of Neurological Disorders, 1990-2016: A Systematic Analysis for the Global Burden of Disease study 2016
(Elsevier, 2019)Background Neurological disorders are increasingly recognised as major causes of death and disability worldwide. The aim of this analysis from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2016 is ... -
