Abstract
Background
Despite the gradual decline of schistosomiasis due to the efforts of the WHO and various countries, with the WHO setting a goal to eliminate schistosomiasis by 2030, a comprehensive global assessment of the current status of schistosomiasis has not been conducted.
Objectives
To provide a detailed description of the changes in schistosomiasis from 1990 to 2019 by using the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019 database.
Methods
We obtained all relevant data on schistosomiasis worldwide from the Global Burden of Diseases (GBD) database from 1990 to 2019. The mortality, prevalence, disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), Years of Life Lost (YLLs), Years Lived with Disability (YLDs) of schistosomiasis were examined by Socio-demographic Index (SDI), age, sex, and year at the global, region and national level.
Results
From 1990 to 2019, the age-standardized rate(ASR)-prevalence of schistosomiasis has decreased from 2600.9 per 100,000(95% uncertainty interval (UI) 2191.2 to 3059.3) to 1805.0 per 100,000(95% UI 1503.4 to 2146.9). The estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) from 1990 to 2019 was 1.28 (95% UI 1.22 to 1.33) in high SDI regions and −2.45 (95% UI −3.03 to −1.86) in low SDI regions. In North Africa and the Middle East, the most substantial reduction in DALYs occurred, with an observed EAPC of −5.36.
Conclusion
The burden of schistosomiasis has decreased over the past three decades worldwide. However, the high SDI regions have shown the increasing burden of schistosomiasis. Besides, Multiple countries in Africa still bear a significant burden of schistosomiasis, necessitating robust prevention and control efforts.
