Research by the Global Burden of Disease Health Financing Collaborator Network produced retrospective health spending estimates for 1995-2021 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.

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.

Part of the National Program of Health Statistics' Series 5 on Vital Statistics, issue no. 66 contains tabulated data on registered births, deaths, fetal deaths, and marriages. Tabulations include data that date from 1990 to 2022 but the majority of data concerns 2022.

Researchers at IHME and the Centre for Global Health Inequalities Research (CHAIN) at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the effect of education on all-cause adult mortality. Mixed-effects meta-regression models were implemented to address heterogeneity in referent and exposure measures among studies and to adjust for study-level covariates. 17 094 unique records were identified, 603 of which were eligible for analysis and included data from 70 locations in 59 countries, producing a final dataset of 10 355 observations. Education showed a dose–response relationship with all-cause adult mortality, with an average reduction in mortality risk of 1·9% per additional year of education. The effect was greater in younger age groups than in older age groups, and researchers found no differential effect of education on all-cause mortality by sex or sociodemographic index level.

Researchers systematically reviewed, identified, and extracted data from cohort, case-control, and Mendelian randomization studies published between 1970 and 2021 that estimated the association between alcohol consumption and risk of ischemic heart disease. In total, 124 unique studies were included. Relative risk curves for the association between alcohol consumption and ischemic heart disease were estimated using data from cohort and case-control studies separately and in combination, and from Mendelian randomization studies using the Burden of Proof meta-analytic framework.

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.
