Estimated burden of selected eye diseases in Albania during the period 1990-2021
The purpose of our analysis was to examine the trends of specific eye diseases in Albania during the period 1990-2021. This analysis was based on the estimates available from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) studies reported by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME). For Albania, IHME uses data that are primarily available from the National Institute of Statistics. The age-standardized mortality rate from eye cancer in the Albanian population exhibited a decrease from 0.46 deaths per 100,000 population in 1990 to 0.31 deaths per 100,000 population in 2021. Similarly, the age-standardized burden of disease from eye cancer in the Albanian population decreased from 1990 to 2021. However, compared with the neighboring Western Balkan countries, Germany and France, the mortality rate and the burden of eye cancer in Albania were the highest in both 1990 and 2021. Our analysis highlights a declining trend in the mortality rate and burden of eye cancer in Albania from 1990 to 2021. However, these indicators remain higher compared to neighboring and Western European countries.
