Down syndrome burden in China and globally: a comparative analysis of 1990–2021 trends and future projections based on GBD 2021 database
From 1990 to 2021, the disease burden of DS declined in China and globally. China's decline in ASMR and ASDR outpaced the global level, though ASIR and ASPR remained higher. To further reduce DS burden, future efforts should prioritize early identification, counseling for informed decision-making, and equitable access to quality lifelong multidisciplinary support for affected individuals.
