The Morbidity and Mortality of Plastic Surgery Disease in Canada: A Perspective Based on the Global Burden of Disease Study

摘要

PURPOSE: Identifying the burden of disease related to plastic and reconstructive surgery in Canada will provide timely population-based data, will inform policy, and will generate important research funding. Using the most current Global Burden of Disease (GBD) data, we present results on the years of life lost (YLLs), years lived with disability (YLDs), and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for diseases relevant to our field.
