Incidence and disability-adjusted life-years of infective endocarditis in China from 1990 to 2021: comparison with G20 based on the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021
In China, the incidence of IE-related diseases has steadily increased across both genders, despite a declining trend in DALYs. Compared with G20 countries, China's age-standardised burden of IE is relatively low, yet the large increasing number of cases should not be underestimated. Therefore, establishing effective prevention and treatment strategies is crucial to alleviating the future burden of IE.
