Peptic ulcer disease burden, trends, and inequalities in 204 countries and territories, 1990–2019: a population-based study

Abstract

Global peptic ulcer disease morbidity and mortality rates decreased significantly from 1990 to 2019. These health gains were in accordance with a substantial reduction in the magnitude of SDI-related inequalities across countries, which is paired with overall socioeconomic and health improvements observed in the region.
