Incidence, prevalence, and hybrid approaches to calculating disability-adjusted life years
When disability-adjusted life years are used to measure the burden of disease on a population in a time interval, they can be calculated in several different ways: from an incidence, pure prevalence, or hybrid perspective. I show that these calculation methods are not equivalent and discuss some of the formal difficulties each method faces. I show that if we don't discount the value of future h...
متن کاملInternational Classification of Diseases 10th edition-based disability adjusted life years for measuring of burden of specific injury
OBJECTIVE We aimed to develop an International Classification of Diseases (ICD) 10th edition injury code-based disability-adjusted life year (DALY) to measure the burden of specific injuries. METHODS Three independent panels used novel methods to score disability weights (DWs) of 130 indicator codes sampled from 1,284 ICD injury codes. The DWs were interpolated into the remaining injury codes...
متن کاملDevelopment of Methodology for Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) Calculation Based on Real-Life Data
BACKGROUND Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) have the advantage that effects on total health instead of on a specific disease incidence or mortality can be estimated. Our aim was to address several methodological points related to the computation of DALYs at an individual level in a follow-up study. METHODS DALYs were computed for 33,507 men and women aged 20-70 years when participating ...
