Background/objective: Acute pancreatitis leads to over 300,000 emergency department visits annually. Assessing its current epidemiology is crucial for developing effective preventive strategies.
Methods: The CDC WONDER database was utilized to obtain deaths and age-adjusted mortality rates of acute pancreatitis from 2011 to 2020, categorized by sex, type (alcohol- and non-alcohol-associated acute pancreatitis), race/ethnicity, and region.

Background And Aims: Alcohol is a major risk factor for cancer development. Our study aimed to provide the updated global, regional and national burden of alcohol-attributable cancer.
Approach And Results: We analysed the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 to determine the death and age-standardised death rate (ASDR) from alcohol-attributable cancer and the change of these measures between 2000 and 2021 (reflected as annual percent change [APC]), classified by region, nation and country's developmental status, which is based on the sociodemographic index (SDI).
: Early-onset cancer is an emerging global health concern, including in the United States. However, data on early-onset liver and intrahepatic bile duct cancer remain limited. This study aims to fill this gap by analyzing trends in early-onset liver and intrahepatic bile duct cancer in the United States over the past two decades.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: To explore the increasing incidence of gastrointestinal (GI) cancers and related risk factors in younger patients.
Patient And Methods: We used data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 to assess the incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for early-onset (age 15 to 49 years) GI cancers, including mortality and DALYs from diabetes mellitus and high body mass index.
Results: In 2021, there were approximately 499,800 incident cases, 285,900 deaths, and 14.
Background/aims: Alcohol represents a leading burden of disease worldwide, including alcohol use disorder (AUD) and alcohol-related liver disease (ALD). We aim to assess the global burden of AUD, ALD, and alcohol-attributable primary liver cancer between 2000-2021.
Methods: We registered the global and regional trends of AUD, ALD, and alcohol-related liver cancer using data from the Global Burden of Disease 2021 Study, the largest and most up-to-date global epidemiology database.
Objective: Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers account for one-third of global cancer mortality, with nearly half being preventable. This study updates the global burden of GI cancers attributed to major risk factors.
Methods: We utilized data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 to examine trends in death and age-standardized death rates related to GI cancers caused by smoking, alcohol, high body mass index (BMI), and high fasting blood glucose (FBG) from 2000 to 2021.

Background: The incidence of cancer and the prevalence of metabolic disease and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease is increasing in young adults. However, updated global data on metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH)-associated primary liver cancer (PLC) in young adults remains scarce.
Methods: This study analyzed data from the Global Burden of Disease study between 2000 and 2021 to assess the age-standardized incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years rates from MASH-associated PLC in young adults (15-49 y).
Alcohol Clin Exp Res (Hoboken)
February 2025
Background: To investigate the trends in alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD), liver cancer from alcohol, and alcohol use disorder (AUD) burden among older adults in the United States (US).
Methods: We gathered the ALD, liver cancer from alcohol, and AUD prevalence, mortality, and age-standardized rates (ASRs) from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2021 between 2010 and 2021. We estimated the annual percent change (APC) with confidence intervals (CIs) for the burden of ALD, liver cancer from alcohol, and AUD in older adults (>70 years) in the United States.

Background: Alcohol is linked to various cancers. While many studies have focused on developed countries, the burden of alcohol-related cancers in developing countries remains underexplored.
Methods: We analyzed data from the Global Burden of Disease Study (2000-2019) to assess mortality and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) from alcohol-related cancers in low and low-to-middle sociodemographic index (SDI) countries.

Introduction: To update the global burden of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) using data from the Global Burden of Disease 2021.
Methods: Data from Global Burden of Disease 2021 were analyzed to assess the IBD burden.
Results: In 2021, there were 375,140 new cases and 3.
Background And Aim: In recent years, there has been a growing incidence of gastrointestinal cancer in young individuals. Despite its significant morbidity and mortality, research on upper gastrointestinal (UGI) cancer in young populations has been relatively limited. Therefore, studies on the epidemiological changes of this cancer are needed.
