Neurological diseases in Peru: a systematic analysis of the global burden disease study
Enfermedades neurológicas en el Perú: un análisis sistemático del Global Burden Disease StudyAuthors

ABSTRACT
Background: Disease burden indicators assess the impact of disease on a population. They integrate mortality and disability in a single indicator. This allows setting priorities for health services and focusing resources. Objective: To analyze the burden of neurological diseases in Peru from 1990-2015. Methods: A descriptive study that used the epidemiological data published by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation of Global Burden of Diseases from 1990 to 2015. Disease burden was measured using disability-adjusted life years (DALY) and their corresponding 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs), which results from the addition of the years of life lost (YLL) and years lived with disability (YLD). Results: The burden of neurological diseases in Peru were 9.06 and 10.65%, in 1990 and 2015, respectively. In 2015, the main causes were migraine, cerebrovascular disease (CVD), neonatal encephalopathy (NE), and Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias (ADD). This last group and nervous system cancer (NSC) increased 157 and 183% of DALY compared to 1990, respectively. Young population (25 to 44 years old) and older (>85 years old) were the age groups with the highest DALY. The neurological diseases produced 11.06 and 10.02% of the national YLL (CVD as the leading cause) and YLD (migraine as the main cause), respectively. Conclusion: The burden of disease (BD) increased by 1.6% from 1990 to 2015. The main causes were migraine, CVD, and NE. ADD and NSC doubled the DALY in this period. These diseases represent a significant cause of disability attributable to the increase in the life expectancy of our population among other factors. Priority actions should be taken to prevent and treat these causes.
RESUMEN
Introducción: Los indicadores de carga de la enfermedad evalúan el impacto que producen las enfermedades en una población. Integran la mortalidad y discapacidad en un solo indicador. Esto permite fijar prioridades para los servicio de salud y enfocar los recursos. Objetivo: Analizar los datos de carga de enfermedades neurológicas en Perú para el periodo 1990-2015. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo de datos del The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation de carga de enfermedad global desde el año 1990 al 2015. La medida de carga de la enfermedad utilizada fue los años de vida ajustados por discapacidad y sus correspondientes intervalos de incertidumbre (95%), que resultan de la suma de los años de vida perdidos debido a muerte prematura y los vividos con discapacidad. Resultados: La carga de enfermedades neurológicas en Perú fue de 9,06 y 10,65% en 1990 y 2015, respectivamente. En 2015, las principales causas fueron: migraña, enfermedad cerebrovascular, encefalopatía neonatal, enfermedad de Alzheimer y otras demencias. Este último grupo y el cáncer del sistema nervioso presentaron un incremento del 157 y 183% de los años de vida ajustados por discapacidad con respecto a 1990, respectivamente. Los adultos jóvenes (25 a 44 años) y adultos mayores (>85 años) fueron los grupos de edad con más años de vida ajustado por discapacidad. Las enfermedades neurológicas produjeron el 11.06 y el 10.02% de los años de vida perdidos debido a muerte prematura (enfermedad cerebrovascular como la causa principal) y años vividos con discapacidad (migraña como la causa principal), respectivamente. Conclusiones: La carga de la enfermedad aumentó un 1,6% entre 1990 y 2015. Las principales causas fueron migraña, la enfermedad cerebrovascular y la encefalopatía neonatal. La enfermedad de Alzheimer y otras demencias y cáncer del sistema nervioso duplicaron los años de vida ajustados por discapacidad en este período. Estas enfermedades representan una causa importante de discapacidad atribuible al aumento de la esperanza de vida de nuestra población, entre otros factores. Se deben tomar medidas prioritarias para prevenir y tratar estas causas.
