Global, regional, and national burden of fracture of sternum and/or fracture of one or more ribs: a systematic analysis of incidence, YLDs with projections to 2030
The escalating burden of sternal/rib fractures demands targeted interventions. Prioritizing injury prevention in high-burden regions (e.g., East Asia), addressing male-dominated occupational/behavioral risks, and optimizing infrastructure such as medical transport in low-SDI settings are critical policy priorities. Sustained surveillance through standardized reporting systems is essential for monitoring progress.
