Between 1990 and 2021, incidence rose by 54.2% in MENA vs 25.3% globally, while mortality increased by 17.6% vs 3.1% globally. Females experienced steeper rises in both incidence and mortality. Annual percent change (APC) in MENA incidence was +1.96 (95% CI: 1.28-2.64) for females and +0.83 (95% CI: 0.59-1.08) for males, compared to +0.28 (95% CI: 0.18, 0.38) and +0.47 (95% CI: 0.40, 0.55) globally. APC for mortality in MENA was +1.27 (95% CI: 0.66-1.88) for females and +0.33 (95% CI: 0.12-0.54) for males, vs \u22120.07 (95% CI: \u22120.13, 0.0) and +0.11 (95% CI: 0.03, 0.18) globally.
