About us
The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) is an independent global health research center at the University of Washington that provides rigorous and comparable measurement of the world's most important health problems and evaluates the strategies used to address them. IHME makes this information freely available so that policymakers have the evidence they need to make informed decisions about how to allocate resources to best improve population health. Our mission is to improve the health of the world’s populations by providing the best information on population health.

Significant geographical disparities in appendicitis incidence and mortality persist despite the global burden of appendicitis decreasing in 2021, including mortality rates dropping by half since 1990. This disparity implies ongoing challenges in accessing quality health care for many regions globally, with only seven of 21 GBD regions decreasing in a number of deaths. Countries with the highest incidence rates of appendicitis, such as HIC Asia Pacific, Western Europe, and Andean Latin America, align with previous studies and are generally wealthier regions with a higher Socio-Demographic Index (SDI).

Facing a health funding crisis, sub-Saharan Africa is expected to see declining aid and insufficient domestic spending growth despite economic advancements. An IHME study predicts GDP growth but reduced health spending in key regions by 2050, with aid falling in 13 countries as economies rebound from COVID-19, highlighting the risk of health system setbacks, says lead author Dr. Angela Esi Apeagyei (Micah) via Think Global Health

According to new GBD study, in 2021, children faced a high disease burden from upper respiratory infections (URI) and otitis media (OM). ◦ Highest URI incidence rates were in <2 years, with most episodes in ages 5-9 years. ◦ OM peaked in <2 years too, but most episodes in ages 2-4 years. Together, the combined burden accounted for by URIs and OM in 2021 led to 6.86M YLDs & 8.16M DALYs. Read the research in Shrinath Thelapurath ‣http://ms.spr.ly/6045mzHRT

Sub-Saharan Africa's health spending is the world's lowest, with only moderate increases expected in its GDP share for health by 2050. This presents a significant challenge in achieving regional, national, and global development goals through improved health care access. Read the study published in PLOS GPH

No one is immune to mortality due to falls—fall-related mortality INCREASED for all racial and ethnic groups in the US from 2000 to 2019. Adults aged 65+ experienced higher mortality rates, especially in the White population in states like FL, MN, and WI. \ Among adults aged 20–64, mortality rose for American Indian and Alaska Native (from 5.6 to 6.9 per 100k) and White populations (from 2.4 to 3.3 per 100k). Black adults had the lowest rates at 2.6 per 100k. http://ms.spr.ly/6049lbS57
