Abstract
Take Home Message The total burden of urolithiasis in terms of incidence, disability-adjusted life years, and deaths has increased globally since 1990, while age-standardized rates have decreased. Importantly, areas of lower sociodemographic index have seen an increased burden. Understanding variation and factors affecting the burden of urolithiasis is necessary for policymakers.
