Global and regional quality of care index for prostate cancer: an analysis from the Global Burden of Disease study 1990 –2019

ConclusionsGlobal PCa QCI stands at a relatively high value (84 in 2019). Low SDI countries are affected the most by PCa, mainly due to the lack of effective preventive and treatment methods in those regions.
