Global burden and future trends of inguinal, femoral, and abdominal hernia in older adults: A systematic analysis from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021
In spite of the progress in reducing the burden of inguinal, femoral, and abdominal hernias in older adults, the overall burden tends to rise. In particular, countries such as India, China, and Georgia are experiencing an increasing burden.
