متن کاملDisability adjusted life years for cancer patients in India.
The disability adjusted life year (DALY) has been employed to quantify the burden of diseases. This measure allows for combining in a single indicator "years of life lived with disabilities (YLD)" and "years of life lost from premature death (YLL)" . The present communication attempts to estimate the burden of cancers in-terms of YLL, YLD and DALY for "all sites" and leading sites of cancer in ...
متن کاملMedical costs and quality-adjusted life years associated with smoking: a systematic review
BACKGROUND Estimated medical costs ("T") and QALYs ("Q") associated with smoking are frequently used in cost-utility analyses of tobacco control interventions.
