Abstract
This study analyzed amputations resulting from road injuries worldwide from 1990 to 2021 using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021. The findings revealed a 39.1% decrease in age-standardized prevalence rates, but the global absolute number of amputations increased by 7.8%, reaching 25.9 million by 2021. While age-standardized incidence and YLD rates declined, notable disparities persisted across regions and socio-demographic indices, with the highest burden observed in Middle and High-middle SDI areas. The burden was disproportionately higher among men, especially those aged 45-79. Projections indicate a rise in the prevalence and YLD rates by 2040, highlighting the need for enhanced road safety, trauma care, and rehabilitation services to address this growing public health issue.
期刊介绍：
International Journal of Injury Control and Safety Promotion (formerly Injury Control and Safety Promotion) publishes articles concerning all phases of injury control, including prevention, acute care and rehabilitation. Specifically, this journal will publish articles that for each type of injury: •describe the problem •analyse the causes and risk factors •discuss the design and evaluation of solutions •describe the implementation of effective programs and policies The journal encompasses all causes of fatal and non-fatal injury, including injuries related to: •transport •school and work •home and leisure activities •sport •violence and assault
