Sumario: | Background Despite a high rate of fatal malignancy, little is known regarding the spatial and temporal patterns of the disease burden of gallbladder and biliary tract carcinoma in China, especially at the provincial level. Methodology Using data from the 2019 Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study, we estimated the temporal trend of the disease burden of gallbladder and biliary tract carcinoma from 1990 to 2019 as well as its incidence, mortality, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs). We estimated the spatial pattern of the disease burden of gallbladder and biliary tract carcinoma at the provincial level. Results The disease burden of gallbladder and biliary tract carcinoma significantly increased from 1990 to 2019 in China. The age-standardized incidence, prevalence, mortality, and DALYs increased by 28.3%, 50.5%, 13.0%, and 7.0%, respectively. The disease burden of gallbladder carcinoma revealed substantial heterogeneity at the provincial level with a higher disease burden in developed provinces or cities than in developing provinces. The disease burden of gallbladder and biliary tract carcinoma was also heavier among males than among females (e.g., age-standardized DALYs: 42.60 per 100,000 people among males vs. 33.57 per 100,000 people among females in 2019). Conclusions The disease burden of gallbladder and biliary tract carcinoma has shown rapid changes during the past three decades, with a higher burden in economically advantaged regions than in disadvantaged regions in China. New public health policies and initiatives are needed to address this rising disease burden. |
