Global, regional, and national burden of pneumococcal disease among children and adolescents aged <20 years from 1990 to 2021: a predictive analysis
Over the past 30 years, the global burden of pneumococcal disease among children and adolescents has significantly declined. However, high burdens persist in low-SDI regions and among children under 5, with increasing relative inequalities. Strengthening vaccination coverage, healthcare systems, and interventions for high-risk populations is essential to further reduce the global burden.
