Cost-effectiveness analysis of malaria interventions using disability adjusted life years: a systematic review
BACKGROUND Malaria continues to be a public health problem despite past and on-going control efforts. For sustenance of control efforts to achieve the malaria elimination goal, it is important that the most cost-effective interventions are employed. This paper reviews studies on cost-effectiveness of malaria interventions using disability-adjusted life years. METHODS A review of literature wa...
متن کاملUsing Surveys to Calculate Disability-Adjusted Life-Years
mapping a certain disease into a system of disabling attributes allows researchers to compare diseases within a common framework. to quantify the total burden of morbidity (e.g., morbidity attributable to alcohol use), so-called disability weights (DWs) must be generated. general-population surveys can be used to derive DWs from health valuation tasks. this article describes the application of ...
متن کاملDisability-Adjusted Life Years Analysis: Implications for Stroke Research
Stroke is a prototype disorder that disables as well as kills people. The disability-adjusted life years (DALY) metric developed by the World Health Organization to measure the global burden of disease integrates healthy life years lost due to both premature mortality and living with disability. Accordingly, it is well suited to stroke research. The DALY has previously been applied only to larg...
متن کاملEconomic Burden of Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) of Injuries
Economic burdens of injuries at the country level are unknown. In the current study we tried to explore the economic burden of DALYs loss due to injuries at the country level, then distributed according to the World Bank’s income groups. Methods: Data from the World Bank and the World Health Organization websites were used. Disability adjusted life year (DALY) and gross domestic product (GDP) p...
متن کاملCalculating disability-adjusted-life-years lost (DALYs) in discrete-time
Disability-adjusted-life-years lost (DALYs) is a common outcome metric for cost-effectiveness analyses, and the equations used for such calculations have been presented previously by Fox-Rushby and Hanson (see, e.g., "Health Policy and Planning 16:326-331, 2001"). While the equations are clear, the logic behind them is opaque at best for a large share of public health practitioners and students...
