Estimates were produced for diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus (DPT) vaccine coverage and dropout for children ages 12-23 months at the 5x5 km-level in 52 countries in Africa between 2000-2016. These estimates were produced using data from 183 population-based household surveys conducted in Africa between 2000 and 2016 that included dose-specific information on DPT coverage (from vaccine cards or maternal recall in the absence of vaccine cards) and subnational geographical location for children ages 12-59 months.

This dataset includes the following:

  • GeoTIFF raster files for pixel-level estimates of DPT1 coverage (the proportion of children who received one or more doses of DPT), DPT3 coverage (three or more doses), and relative and absolute DPT1-3 dropout
  • CSV files of aggregated estimates for each country at the first and second administrative divisions
  • Code files used to generate the estimates

As part of an analysis of the availability and quality of birth registration data worldwide, researchers from IHME and the Melbourne School of Population and Global Health compiled publicly available birth registration records into a novel birth registration database. They acquired 4,918 country-years of data from 145 countries covering the period 1948-2015. Data were collected from the United Nations Statistical Division (UNSD) database, Eurostat, and directly from national statistical offices and ministry of health databases. For each country-year, this database contains the number of registered live births by age of the mother, sex of the newborn, birth order, and birthweight. Results of the analysis were published in December 2018 in Population Health Metrics in "How useful are registered birth statistics for health and social policy? A global systematic assessment of the availability and quality of birth registration data."

As part of a study to inform plans to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC), IHME research generated estimates on utilization and unit cost of outpatient visits and inpatient admissions, and estimated the additional services and funds needed to meet a UHC standard for utilization. Using 1175 country-years of outpatient and 2068 of inpatient data, utilization per person estimates were produced for outpatient visits and inpatient admissions by age and sex for 195 countries and territories for 1990-2016. Data from 795 National Health Accounts (NHAs) were used to produce cost per outpatient visit and inpatient admission estimates for 188 countries for 1995-2016. UHC standards of utilization per disability-adjusted-life-year (DALY) based on existing health systems were created to estimate the additional services and funding needed annually to expand health coverage for countries in 2016. Results of the study were published in The Lancet in December 2018.

Developed by GBD researchers and used to help produce these estimates, the Socio-demographic Index (SDI) is a composite indicator of development status strongly correlated with health outcomes. It is the geometric mean of 0 to 1 indices of total fertility rate under the age of 25 (TFU25), mean education for those ages 15 and older (EDU15+), and lag distributed income (LDI) per capita. As a composite, a location with an SDI of 0 would have a theoretical minimum level of development relevant to health, while a location with an SDI of 1 would have a theoretical maximum level.

This dataset provides tables with SDI values for all estimated GBD 2017 locations for 1950–2017 and groupings by location based on their 2017 values.

This reference life table is used in GBD to calculate years of life lost (YLLs) due to premature mortality. It was constructed based on the lowest observed age-specific mortality rates by location and sex across all estimation years from all locations with populations over 5 million in 2016. YLLs are computed by multiplying the number of estimated deaths by the reference life table’s life expectancy at age of death. The table includes estimates for life expectancy at age x for ages 0 to 110+ at five-year intervals.

The GBD Locations Hierarchy file contains only GBD locations, including subnational locations for which results were released at the time of the study's publication. (Locations will be added as additional subnational results are released.) The All Locations Hierarchies file also includes hierarchies for other regions for which estimates were produced, such as WHO and World Bank regions. These files allow users to filter for sets of values by level or parent category, including cause or risk group, GBD super region or region, or custom region.

The Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 (GBD 2017), coordinated by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), estimated the burden of diseases, injuries, and risk factors for 195 countries and territories, and at the subnational level for a subset of countries.

Disability weights, which represent the magnitude of health loss associated with specific health outcomes, are used to calculate years lived with disability (YLD) for these outcomes in a given population. The weights are measured on a scale from 0 to 1, where 0 equals a state of full health and 1 equals death. This dataset provides disability weights for the 234 unique health states used to estimate nonfatal health outcomes for the GBD 2017 study. The data were published in The Lancet in November 2018 in "Global, regional, and national incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability for 354 diseases and injuries for 195 countries, 1990–2017: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017."

The Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 (GBD 2017), coordinated by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), estimated the burden of diseases, injuries, and risk factors for 195 countries and territories and at the subnational level for a subset of countries.

Covariates, which are independent variables with a positive or negative relationship to GBD diseases and conditions, are used to inform the estimation process in models in all components and stages of the GBD study. Types of covariates used include socioeconomic, demographic, health system access, climate, and food consumption. This dataset contains data for 334 covariates for 1980-2017 used in the GBD 2017 study.

IHME and collaborating researchers conducted a study to map the global distribution of genotypes of bacterial strains that cause tuberculosis disease and examine whether any epidemiologically relevant clinical characteristics were associated with those genotypes. They performed a systematic review to create a comprehensive dataset of human TB molecular epidemiology studies that used representative sampling techniques. Data were extracted and synthesized from 206 studies that reported prevalence of bacterial genotypes (representing over 200,000 bacterial isolates collected over 27 years in 85 countries) and from 34 studies that reported clinical characteristics associated with those genotypes. This dataset contains the following: a screening sheet detailing all studies reviewed; raw genotype distribution data extracted in the systematic review; raw genetic clustering data extracted; and sheets containing MTBC genotype conversions for all genotyping methods included in this study.

IHME researchers leveraged data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study to produce life expectancy, all-cause mortality, and cause-specific mortality forecasts for 195 countries and territories from 2016-2040. In addition to reference scenarios, alternative “better” and “worse” scenarios were produced. Estimates for life expectancy at birth, and deaths and years of life lost (YLLs) for 250 causes by cause, age, and sex are available from GBD Foresight. Estimates for deaths and YLLs attributable to each GBD risk factor and summary exposure values (SEV) by risk are also available. Select tables published in The Lancet in October 2018 in "Forecasting life expectancy, years of life lost, and all-cause and cause-specific mortality for 250 causes of death: reference and alternative scenarios for 2016–40 for 195 countries and territories" are available for download in this record.

Human capital, widely recognized as the level of education and health in a population, is considered an important determinant of economic growth. IHME generated a measure of expected human capital, defined for each birth cohort as the expected years lived from 20 to 64 years of age adjusted for educational attainment, learning or education quality, and functional health status using period-age-and-sex-specific rates. Learning estimates are based on student performance on math, science, and reading assessments. Functional health status is comprised of the prevalence of seven conditions with proven links to productivity and learning.

This dataset includes estimates for the following five measures by age and sex for 195 countries from 1990-2016: expected human capital; average years of educational attainment, from 0-18 years; learning, the average standardized test score transformed to a 0 to 1 scale; health, transformed to a 0 to 1 scale; and survival, or expected years lived between ages 20-64.

Estimates were produced for the prevalence and incidence of diarrhea and diarrhea-related mortality among children younger than 5 years of age at the 5x5 km-level in 52 countries in Africa between 2000-2015. These estimates were produced using data on diarrhea and geographical locations from censuses, several household survey series, including the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) and Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS), and other country‐specific surveys.

This dataset includes the following:

  • GeoTIFF raster files for pixel-level estimates of diarrhea prevalence, incidence of severe diarrheal episodes, diarrhea-related mortality, annualized rates of change for severe incidence and diarrheal mortality, and the probability that a unit will reach GAPPD goals for the reduction of incidence and mortality for given years
  • CSV files of aggregated estimates for each country at the first and second administrative divisions
  • Code files used to generate the estimates

Research by IHME and the Department of Health Surveillance, Brazil Ministry of Health produced estimates for age-standardized mortality rates by Brazil municipality for HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis. The estimates were generated using de-identified death records from the Brazil Mortality Information System (SIM); case notification data from the Brazil national notification system (SINAN); standardization of vital registration of data based on GBD 2016 methodology; and the application of small area estimation models.

This dataset provides estimates for age-standardized mortality rates by cause and sex at the state level and the municipality level for each state for 2001-2015. Study results were published in BMC Medicine in September 2018 in "Progress toward eliminating TB and HIV deaths in Brazil, 2001–2015: a spatial assessment."

The Global Burden of Disease Study 2016 (GBD 2016), coordinated by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), estimated the burden of diseases, injuries, and risk factors for 195 countries and territories and at the subnational level for a subset of countries.

Estimates for alcohol use and the burden attributable to this risk factor were produced by sex, age group, and year for 195 countries and territories for 1990-2016. Estimates for alcohol-attributable deaths and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) are available from the GBD Results Tool. Files available in this record include estimates of the prevalence of current drinking, abstention, and the population average of standard drinks daily. Study results were published in The Lancet in August 2018 in "Alcohol use and burden: a systematic analysis from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016 for 195 countries and territories, 1990–2016."

Contemporary range maps for 278 medically important snake species and estimates of the populations most vulnerable to snakebite envenoming were produced. Existing expert opinion range (EOR) maps, occurrence data, and a multivariate environmental similarity analysis were used to generate the contemporary range maps. These data were triangulated with geographical accessibility surfaces, the HAQ Index (a measure of healthcare access and quality), and information on antivenom availability to identify vulnerable populations.

This dataset includes: shapefiles for the range maps and vulnerable population counts; GeoTIFF files at the 5x5 km-level for venomous snake species ranges, vulnerable population hotspots, and travel time to major cities in snake species ranges; and CSV files for vulnerable populations at the admin 2-level.
