The global, regional, and national burden of gallbladder and biliary tract cancer and its attributable risk factors in 195 countries and territories, 1990 to 2017: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017

Although the rates of age-standardized incidence, death, and disability-adjusted life-years for gallbladder and biliary tract cancer decreased from 1990 to 2017, the numbers of these measures increased. Nonlinear associations existed between the age-standardized death rate, the Socio-Demographic Index, and disability-adjusted life-years at the 21 regional and national levels in the Global Burden of Disease Study.
