Non-carbon monoxide (non-CO) poisoning remains a significant global public health issue, contributing to considerable morbidity and mortality. However, there is a lack of comprehensive analysis regarding the global burden and trends of non-CO poisoning.Data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 study were used to assess the global, regional, and national prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) associated with non-CO poisoning from 1990 to 2021. Descriptive statistical methods were applied to assess global, regional, and national trends in non-CO poisoning burden, with estimates of prevalence, mortality, and DALYs. Smoothing splines models were used to examine the relationship between non-CO poisoning burden and the Socio-Demographic Index (SDI).
