Global YLLs by GBD Level 2 causes of death under the reference scenario, Elimination-2050 scenario, and Elimination-2023 scenario (A) Difference in number of YLLs compared with the reference scenario. (B) Difference in rate of age-standardised YLLs compared with the reference scenario. Negative net differences in (A) and (B) indicate causes from which YLLs would be avoided under each custom scenario, whereas net positive differences indicate causes from which additional YLLs would occur. YLLs=years of life lost.
