What is Global Burden and Trends of Sexually Transmitted Infections from 1990 to 2019: an Observational Trend Study about?

Background Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a major public health issue worldwide, but there is a paucity of literature on their burden and trends globally. We aimed to assess the global disease burden and trends of STIs from 1990 to 2019. Methods In this observational trend study, we collected data on incident cases, age-standardised incidence rate, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), and calculated age-standardised DALY rates, for five STIs (syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhoea, trichomonas, and genital herpes) between 1990 and 2019, by sex, geographical region, and cause using data exclusively from the Global Burden of Disease study 2019. The estimated annual percentage changes in the agestandardised incidence rate and age-standardised DALY rate were calculated to quantify the changing trend. Findings Globally, the age-standardised incidence rate of STIs showed a decreasing trend with an estimated annual percentage change of -0•04 (95% uncertainty interval [UI] -0•08 to 0•00) from 1990 to 2019, reaching 9535•71 per 100 000 person-years (8169•73 to 11 054•76) in 2019. The age-standardised DALY rate showed a decreasing trend with an estimated annual percentage change
