TL;DR: The GBD study provides annual updates on estimates of deaths, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), a summary measure of fatal and non-fatal disease outcomes, for over 300 diseases and injuries, for 188 countries from 1990 to the most recent year.

TL;DR: Age-specific and sex-specific all-cause mortality between 1970 and 2016 is estimated for 195 countries and territories and at the subnational level for the five countries with a population greater than 200 million in 2016 to identify countries with higher life expectancy than expected by comparing observed life expectancy to anticipated life expectancy on the basis of development status alone.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed trends in the fatal and non-fatal burden of tuberculosis over the past 25 years for 195 countries and territories, and assessed how observed tuberculosis incidence, prevalence and mortality differed from expected trends as predicted by the Socio-demographic Index (SDI), a composite indicator based on income per capita, average years of schooling and total fertility rate.

TL;DR: Global trends were driven by reductions in mortality owing to infectious, nutritional, and neonatal disorders, which in the aggregate led to a relative increase in the importance of noncommunicable diseases and injuries in explaining global disease burden.
