Comparative analysis of trends in the burden of pancreatitis in China and worldwide, 1990–2021
This study highlights a marked decline in China's pancreatitis burden, linked to healthcare advances, despite persistent disparities in older populations. Moving beyond isolated descriptions of trends, our study introduces a direct comparative analysis that quantifies China's steeper decline in pancreatitis burden relative to the global average. This provides a nuanced, quantitative benchmark for evaluating the effectiveness of national health policies. These findings call for equitable policies and future work on region-specific risks and scalable interventions.
