This ranking measures how much documentation the corpus holds. It says nothing about actual disease burden: a country with few observations is under-documented here.

34,155 observations with no year

Only 15,356 of 49,511 observations carry a usable year. The rest are not old: their date is unknown, which is not the same thing.

An "inherited" location means the country comes from the study context, not from the claim itself. These observations count, with lower confidence.

These figures date from August 9, 2026 (85 days ago). They are more than a week old: the aggregate refresh has not been run since. It is not the portal that is behind, it is the data it serves. 33,736 observations attached to a country.
