Key Points

To assess global, regional, and national incidence, mortality, and pathogen-specific etiologies of meningitis between 1990 and 2019.
Extracted epidemiological data across 204 countries and territories utilizing analytical frameworks from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019.
Estimated incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) across age groups, sexes, and geographic locations from 1990 to 2019.
Attributed meningitis morbidity and mortality to specific bacterial and viral causes, including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis, and Haemophilus influenzae.
Global age-standardized incidence and mortality rates of meningitis decreased significantly between 1990 and 2019, driven largely by expanded conjugate vaccine coverage.
Disproportionate disease burdens persisted in western and sub-Saharan Africa, where fatality rates and pathogen-specific transmission remained elevated.
Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitidis accounted for the majority of bacterial meningitis deaths worldwide across all evaluated years.

Implication

Systematic analysis reveals global trends in meningitis burden and specific etiologies across diverse populations, highlighting crucial targets for prevention and immunization.
