Abstract

Aims: By 2030, we seek to reduce premature deaths from non-communicable diseases, including ischaemic heart disease (IHD), by one-third to reach the sustainable development goal (SDG) target 3.4. We aimed to investigate the quality of care of IHD across countries, genders, age groups, and time using the Global Burden of Diseases Study (GBD) 2017 estimates. Methods and results: We did a principal component analysis on IHD mortality to incidence ratio, disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) to prevalence ratio, and years of life lost to years lived with disability ratio using the results of the GBD 2017. The first principal component was scaled from 0 to 100 and designated as the quality of care index (QCI). We evaluated gender inequity by the gender disparity ratio (GDR), defined as female to male QCI. From 1990 to 2017, the QCI and GDR increased from 71.2 to 76.4 and from 1.04 to 1.08, respectively, worldwide. In the study period, countries of Western Europe, Scandinavia, and Australasia had the highest QCIs and a GDR of 1 to 1.2; however, African and South Asian countries had the lowest QCIs and a GDR of 0.8 to 1. Moreover, the young population experienced more significant improvements in the QCI compared to the elderly in 2017. Conclusion: From 1990 to 2017, the QCI of IHD has improved; nonetheless, there are remarkable disparities between countries, genders, and age groups that should be addressed. These findings may guide policymakers in monitoring and modifying our path to achieve SDGs. © 2021 Published on behalf of the European Society of Cardiology. All rights reserved.
