was 26.8 per 100 patients, compared to 7.0 per 100 patients on average in comparable nations for the same year. In 2020, the rate of consultations missed due to costs in the U.S. are more likely to experience missed consultations with their provider due to costs. than in comparable countries, on average. In 2019, the DALY rate was 37% higher in the U.S. continued to have higher age-adjusted disease burden rates than peer countries. and comparable countries since 2000, though the U.S. As of 2019 - the most recent year with available data - DALYs have declined in the U.S. are less likely to make it to adulthood than in peer countries, with the U.S having higher rates of motor vehicle accidents, firearm deaths, and suicide deaths among children and teens.ĭisease burden, which accounts for both premature death and years living with disability, is often measured using disability adjusted life years (DALYs). health system consistently results in higher rates of mortality and premature deaths among people of color.Ĭhildren and teens in the U.S. were 3 times higher than the rates among White or Asian populations. The premature excess death rates for American Indian and Alaska Native, Black, Hispanic, and Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander populations in the U.S. compared to peer countries was driven in part by racial disparities within the U.S. The higher rate of new premature deaths in the U.S. was over twice as high as the next closest peer country, the U.K. The per capita premature excess death rate in the U.S. had the highest increase in premature deaths due the pandemic in 20. and comparable countries has increased over time. and comparable OECD countries have made progress in reducing years of life lost from 1990 to 2019 (down 24% and 42%, respectively), although the gap between the U.S. In addition to overall mortality rates, the “years of life lost” metric marks the extent of premature deaths within a population by providing more weight to deaths at younger ages. The U.S. in 2021 while rebounding in most peer countries Long-Term Health Outcomes Life expectancy continued to drop in the U.S. performs similarly to or better than peer nations in other measures of treatment outcomes (such as mortality rates within 30 days of acute hospital treatment) and patient safety (such as rates of post – operative sepsis). performs worse in long- term health outcomes measures (such as life expectancy), certain treatment outcomes (such as maternal mortality and congestive heart failure hospital admissions), some patient safety measures (such as obstetric trauma with instrument and medication or treatment errors), and patient experiences of not getting care due to cost. health system provides lower-quality care than its peers. While inconsistent and imperfect metrics make it difficult to firmly assess system-wide health quality, measures of long-term health outcomes, treatment outcomes, patient safety, and patient experiences suggest the U.S. stacks up against its peers and how that has changed over time. This chart collection combines various measures of quality of care in the United States and other large, high-income nations to show how the U.S. Despite spending more money per capita on healthcare than any similarly large and wealthy nation, the United States has a lower life expectancy than peer nations and has seen worsening health outcomes since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
