2 Background: WHO Position on Asbestos From WHO Website (accessed 11 Sep 2017) The most efficient way to eliminate ARDs is to stop the use of all types of asbestos Replace with safer substitutes; develop economic and technological mechanisms for replacement Prevent exposure to asbestos in place Improve diagnosis, treatment and medical rehabilitation of ARDs and establish registries 2

4 1. Estimate Global Burden of Mesothelioma from Incomplete National Data
5 Global Estimates for Mesothelioma Driscoll (AJIM, 2005) Delgermaa* (Bull WHO, 2011) Park* (EHP, 2011) Pruss-Ustun (WHO, 2011) Lim (Lancet, 2012) Diandini* (AJIM, 2013) 43,000 Annual Deaths 92,253 Reported Deaths (83 countries, ) 38,900 (Deaths Estimated for 33 unreported countries, 94 08) 59,000 Annual Deaths 33,610 Annual Deaths (Asbestos-Related Cancers) 11,884 Reported Deaths (82 countries, ) GBD Collaborators (Lancet, 2015; 2016) 33,700 (2015) & 32,400 (2016) Annual Deaths
6 Methods Mortality Rates (MR) 1 Crude MR Judge Data Quality 2 Age-adjusted MR Assess Trend: Choose Best Model from Most Recent 1/2/3 yr of Reported Data 3 Gender and Age-Specific MR Extrapolate Rates from Countries to Reference to Countries to Estimate Extrapolation 1 Cumulative * Per Capita Asbestos Use ( ) 4 groups ( no use low middle high ) 2 Continent : 5 groups (Oceania, Africa, Asia, Europe and Americas) 6 3 Employment in Industrial Sector: 4 groups ( low middle high no data )
7 National Data Reported to WHO Extracted Region Country Oceania Africa FJI AUS NZL EGY MAR MUS REU TUN ZAF Data reported; Data not reported 7
8 Criteria for Poor Quality of Reported Data Method Crude MR 0.5 deaths per million Reported Number of Years 2 Total Reported Number of Deaths of 104 Countries Reporting Data Judged to have Poor Quality 8
9 Crude MR vs Number of Reporting Years CMR (per Million) 0.5 Number of Reporting Years 2 :Countries used for reference rates :Countries with poor quality data with <10 and >10 deaths
10 Crude MR vs Total Number of Deaths CMR (per Million) 0.5 Total Number of Deaths 10 :Countries used for reference rates :Countries with poor quality data with <3 and >3 reporting years
11 National Data Reported to WHO Extracted Region Country Oceania Africa FJI AUS NZL EGY MAR MUS REU TUN ZAF Data reported; Data not reported 11

15 Global Estimates for Mesothelioma Driscoll (AJIM, 2005) 43,000 Annual Deaths Our Current Study (OEM, in press) 38,400 Annual Deaths GBD Collaborators (Lancet, 2015; 2016) 33,700 (2015) & 32,400 (2016) Annual Deaths Overemphasis on Detailed Numbers: Unproductive! Our Findings Easily Reproducible Commonly accessible data + Straightforward algorithm Amenable to Verification and Update
16 Discussion & Conclusion Odgerel C-O et al. Estimation of the global burden of mesothelioma deaths from incomplete national mortality data. Occup Environ Med, in press Strengths Accounted for Gender and Age structure of ALL countries Unconstrained by Number of Deaths due to Other Causes Limitations Arbitrary Criteria for Quality Possible Underestimation (developed countries) and Overestimation (developing countries) Conclusion Mesothelioma Mortality Data Variable for Availability and Quality Global Mesothelioma Burden Estimated at 38,400 Annual Deaths
