BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Disability-adjusted life year (DALY) metric reflects years of healthy life lost because of living with disability and years of life lost because of premature mortality. Widely used in epidemiological analyses, DALY has not been applied to acute stroke trials. METHODS From previous studies, we derived, for each modified Rankin Scale level, disability weights, disability-...

This paper constructs a vector autoregressive (VAR) model and error correction (VECM) model, analyzes the air pollution, economic development, national health of China from 1990 to 2019, evaluates losses respiratory diseases caused by pollution. The results show that: (1) China’s economy continues grow, corresponding amount exhaust gas emissions (during study period) showed trend first increasi...

BACKGROUND Over the past decade, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have been the leading cause of death in the world. Ischemic heart diseases (IHDs) are the main form of CVDs and are the most important single cause of death around the world. This study aimed to estimate the burden of IHDs in the city of Isfahan by calculating disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). METHODS This population-based ...

INTRODUCTION The latent nature of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in primary stages precludes early diagnosis. This necessitates plans such as screening, but we should first introduce CKD as a public health problem. This study was designed to define the burden of CKD in Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS We calculated disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) according to the World Health Organization's p...

Health-adjusted life years (HALYs) are population health measures permitting morbidity and mortality to be simultaneously described within a single number. They are useful for overall estimates of burden of disease, comparisons of the relative impact of specific illnesses and conditions on communities, and in economic analyses. Quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) and disability-adjusted life ye...

The aims of this study were to describe fatal and non-fatal self-harm burdens, as well as burdens from the main preventable risk factors, and to investigate the different suicide methods in Hubei province in central China utilizing data from both Global Burden of Disease Study 2015 and Hubei Disease Surveillance Points system. All self-harm burdens including mortality, years of life lost (YLLs)...

To estimate the burden of disease population between 10-24 years old enrolled in SER JOVEN program a Colombian insurance company using disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs). Incidences were estimated from administrative claims data Mutual EPS. The ICD-10 codes main diagnosis identified and regrouped according to categories diseases reported global (GBD) study. life lost (YLL), difference age d...

Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the 30 years (1990 2019) trends rheumatic heart diseases (RHD) in terms estimated prevalence, deaths, and disability-adjusted life (DALYs) for Pakistan. Methodology: This ecological consisted an analysis data extracted from Global Burden Disease Study, which (from 1990 trend RHD Pakistan DALYs, deaths number cased age-standardized rate (A...

BACKGROUND Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) quantify the loss of healthy years of life due to dying prematurely and due to living with diseases and injuries. Current methods of attributing DALYs to underlying risk factors fall short on two main points. First, risk factor attribution methods often unjustly apply incidence-based population attributable fractions (PAFs) to prevalence-based d...

significant reductions in poverty achieved in recent years. A recent review (Black and others 2008) suggests that maternal and child malnutrition is the underlying cause of 3.5 million deaths annually. Undernutrition accounts for 35 percent of the disease burden in children younger than age 5, and 11 percent of total global disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), a measure that takes into accou...
