Global burden of plastic-surgery-related conditions, 1990–2021: a composition-aware analysis with projections to 2050
Aggregate incidence increases were driven mainly by pyoderma. Surgically relevant burdens concentrated in oncologic and burn/trauma cohorts; hence service implications should be anchored to these metrics rather than incidence. By 2050, incidence continues to rise largely from infections, while DALYs trajectories in surgically managed subgroups diverge by SDI-supporting targeted prevention, context-specific capacity strengthening, and integrated rehabilitation.
