Article Abstract
Background: Thyroid cancer (TC) is a prevalent malignant tumor of the endocrine system in China. Current research primarily focuses on clinical diagnosis and treatment as well as underlying mechanisms, lacking epidemiological studies on the burden of the disease in China and worldwide.
Methods: The Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 was utilized to assess the incidence, prevalence, death, and disability-adjusted life years of TC in China and worldwide from 1990 to 2021 using the Joinpoint and R software.
Results: From 1990 to 2021, the incidence and prevalence rates of TC in China have been consistently rising, and their growth rates are far higher than the global average. In China, TC usually occurs in patients aged 50-59, and the crude death rate generally increases with age. The burden of death among females has gradually declined, while that among males has continued to increase and surpassed females at the beginning of the 21st century. The burden of TC is heavy among middle-aged and elderly populations and the younger populations is also rapidly rising. The increased number of TC is mainly attributed to epidemiological changes, while the increase of deaths in China is primarily due to aging and population. Additionally, we predict that the age-standardized incidence rate of TC in China will continue to grow slowly over the next decade, while the age-standardized death rate will gradually decline among females and stabilize among males.
Conclusion: It is imperative to avoid over-screening and over-treatments for TC. Meanwhile, we should also avoid missing aggressive types of TC that may have an impact on overall survival. Additionally, understanding the mechanisms of metastasis and improving clinical treatments should be prioritized for further investigation. TC remains a significant public health challenge in China, necessitating a careful balance of the cost-benefit ratio.

Background: Ectopic pregnancy (EP) represents a leading cause of maternal mortality in early gestation and a significant contributor to future reproductive impairment. Comprehensive understanding of global EP epidemiological patterns and their temporal evolution is crucial for developing holistic strategies to promote health equity and optimize allocation of medical resources worldwide.
Methods: Leveraging Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 data, this investigation systematically examined age-standardized rates (ASRs) of EP incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) across 204 countries and 21 regions from 1990 to 2021.

Objective: To evaluate the burden and trends of digestive system cancers in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) globally between 1990 and 2021.
Methods: Data were extracted from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (1990-2021). We analyzed global, regional, and national disease burdens by calculating the age-standardized incidence (ASIR), mortality (ASMR), and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for AYAs.

Objective: The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) peaks between the ages of 15 and 40. This age range coincides with women of childbearing age (WCBA), who face unique challenges like adverse pregnancy outcomes and heightened anxiety. Despite the rising global prevalence of IBD, particularly among younger populations, the burden of IBD among women, especially WCBA, remains underexplored.

Background: Ovarian cancer remains the most lethal gynecological cancer, with fewer than 50% of patients surviving more than five years after diagnosis. This study aimed to analyze the global epidemiological trends of ovarian cancer from 1990 to 2021 and also project its prevalence to 2050, providing insights into these evolving patterns and helping health policymakers use healthcare resources more effectively.
Methods: This study comprehensively analyzes the original data related to ovarian cancer from the GBD 2021 database, employing a variety of methods including descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, age-period-cohort (APC) analysis, decomposition analysis, predictive analysis, frontier analysis, and health inequality analysis.
