TL;DR: The findings provide insight into the changing burden of stomach cancer, which is useful in planning local strategies and monitoring their progress, and specific local strategies should be tailored to each country's risk factor profile.

TL;DR: Although the prevalence of lymphatic filariasis infection has declined since 2000, MDA is still necessary across large populations in Africa and Asia, and these mapped estimates can be used to identify areas where the probability of meeting infection thresholds is low, and to indicate additional data collection or intervention might be warranted before MDA programmes cease.

TL;DR: High-resolution geospatial estimates of access to drinking water and sanitation facilities in low-income and middle-income countries from 2000 to 2017 identify areas with successful approaches or in need of targeted interventions to enable precision public health to effectively progress towards universal access to safe water and sanitary facilities.

TL;DR: The greatest declines in diarrhoeal mortality were seen in south and southeast Asia and South America, where 54·0% (95% uncertainty interval] 38·1–65·8), 17·4% (7·7–28·4), and 59·5% (34·2–86·9) of units, respectively, recorded decreases in deaths from diarrhoea greater than 10%.
