IHME Data

The Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 (GBD 2021), coordinated by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), estimated the burden of diseases, injuries, and risk factors for 204 countries and territories and selected subnational locations.

Covariates, which are independent variables with a positive or negative relationship to GBD diseases and conditions, are used to inform the estimation process in models in all components and stages of the GBD study. Types of covariates used include socioeconomic, demographic, health system access, climate, and food consumption. This dataset contains data for covariates for 1980-2021 used in the GBD 2021 study.

Developed by GBD researchers and used to help produce these estimates, the Socio-demographic Index (SDI) is a composite indicator of development status strongly correlated with health outcomes. It is the geometric mean of 0 to 1 indices of total fertility rate under the age of 25 (TFU25), mean education for those ages 15 and older (EDU15+), and lag distributed income (LDI) per capita. As a composite, a location with an SDI of 0 would have a theoretical minimum level of development relevant to health, while a location with an SDI of 1 would have a theoretical maximum level.

This dataset provides tables with SDI values for all estimated GBD 2021 locations for 1950–2021, as well as 2021 location quintile and reference SDI quintile values.

Research by the Global Burden of Disease Health Financing Collaborator Network produced retrospective health spending estimates for 1995-2022 for 204 countries and territories. The estimates cover total health spending, health spending disaggregated by source into three domestic financing source categories (government, out-of-pocket, and prepaid private), and development assistance for health (DAH). Domestic health spending source data came primarily from the WHO’s Global Health Expenditure Database (GHED). DAH data came from a diverse set of sources, including program reports, budget data, national estimates, and National Health Accounts (NHAs). The resulting estimates were used to forecast GDP and prospective health spending estimates for 2022-2050. Estimates are reported in constant 2022 United States Dollars, constant 2022 purchasing power parity adjusted (PPP) dollars, and as a percent of gross domestic product.

Development Assistance for Health (DAH) on COVID-19 produced estimates for 2020-2023, which are based on project databases, financial statements, annual reports, IRS 990s, and correspondence with agencies. The DAH Database enables comprehensive analysis of trends in international disbursements of grants and loans for COVID-19-related health projects in low- and middle-income countries from key agencies. The data are disaggregated by source of funds, channel of funding, country and geographic region, and program areas.

The Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 (GBD 2021), coordinated by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), estimated the burden of diseases, injuries, and risk factors for 204 countries and territories and selected subnational locations.

Disability weights, which represent the magnitude of health loss associated with specific health outcomes, are used to calculate years lived with disability (YLD) for these outcomes in a given population. The weights are measured on a scale from 0 to 1, where 0 equals a state of full health and 1 equals death. This table provides disability weights for the 440 health states (including combined health states) used to estimate nonfatal health outcomes for the GBD 2021 study.

This set of files contain the following for GBD 2021: the cause hierarchy; the risk, impairment, etiology, and injury n-code (REI) hierarchy; and locations hierarchies. The GBD Locations Hierarchy file contains only GBD locations, including subnational locations for which results were released at the time of the study's publication. The All Locations Hierarchies file also includes hierarchies for other regions for which estimates were produced, such as WHO and World Bank regions. These files allow users to filter for sets of values by level or parent category, including cause or risk group, GBD super region or region, or custom region.

The Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 coordinated by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), estimated the burden of diseases, injuries, and risk factors for 204 countries and territories and selected subnational locations. The Global Burden of Antimicrobial Resistance (GRAM) estimates the burden of pathogens, infectious syndromes and antimicrobial resistance.

This dataset includes disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) associated with 85 pathogens in 2019, globally, regionally, and for 204 countries and territories.

This dataset contains retrospective estimates for the cost of informal care attributable to dementia in the United States of America from 2010 to 2019 and prospective cost estimates in 2030, 2040, and 2050 under both low and high growth scenarios. Retrospective estimates are provided for the US national level, each US state, and the District of Columbia. Prospective estimates are provided for the US national level only. Final estimates include both the replacement and forgone wage costs attributable to dementia per dementia case. The replacement cost model estimates how much it would cost to replace all informal caregiving with formal, paid caregivers. The forgone wage cost model estimates how much income is lost for informal caregivers by caring for a person living with dementia instead of working for a wage. All cost estimates are reported in 2019 United States dollars.

Liver cancer mortality rate estimates were produced at the county level in the United States, and by racial and ethnic population, for each year between 2000-2019. These estimates were generated using population and deaths data from the National Center for Health Statistics.

This dataset includes the following:

• CSV files of county-, state-, and national-level estimates of liver cancer mortality rates for each age group, sex, year, and racial and ethnic population (non-Latino and non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native [AIAN], non-Latino and non-Hispanic Asian or Pacific Islander [Asian], non-Latino and non-Hispanic Black [Black], Latino or Hispanic [Latino], and non-Latino and non-Hispanic White [White]). Blank cells are for masked estimates

Estimates were produced for family planning for women ages 15-49 years at the 5x5 km-level in Burkina Faso, Kenya, and Nigeria from 2000-2020. They were produced using data from 65 population-based household surveys conducted in Africa between 2000 and 2020 that included information on contraception use and fertility, and subnational geographical location for women 15-49 years.

This dataset includes:

• GeoTIFF raster files for pixel-level estimates of CPR (contraceptive prevalence), mCPR (modern contraceptive prevalence), tCPR (traditional contraceptive prevalence), unmet need (unmet need for contraception), met need (met need for contraception with modern methods), and intent (intent to use contraception in the future)
• CSV files of aggregated estimates at the country level and the first and second administrative divisions
• Code files used to generate the estimates

Researchers at IHME and the University of Oxford estimated deaths, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), years lived with disability (YLDs), and years of life lost (YLLs) associated with and attributable to bacterial antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in 88 pathogen-drug combinations for the WHO Region of Africa and for 35 countries in 2019. Data gathered to inform these estimates included multiple cause of death data, hospital discharges, minimally invasive tissue sampling, systematic literature reviews, and microbiology lab results from hospitals and national and multi-national surveillance systems, totaling 343 million individual records or isolates and 11,361 study-location-years collected. These data informed 8 modelling components which were combined with results from GBD 2019 to estimate AMR burden. Estimates were produced for two counterfactual scenarios: no infection and drug-susceptible infection.

The Salud Mesoamérica Initiative (SMI) is a regional public-private partnership that brings together Mesoamerican governments, private foundations and bilateral and multilateral donors with the purpose of reducing health inequalities affecting the poorest 20 percent of the population in the region. The SMI health facility survey is designed to assess facility conditions, evaluate service provision and utilization, and measure quality of care. Patient medical records are examined to evaluate facilities’ treatment practices retrospectively over the course of the evaluation period. Health facility data collection aims to capture changes produced by interventions at the level of the health services access point, which may foretell changes in population health outcomes.
