OBJECTIVE People with epilepsy (PWE) develop complications and comorbidities often requiring admission to hospital, which adds to the burden on the health system, particularly in low-income countries. We determined the incidence, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), risk factors, and causes of admissions in PWE. We also examined the predictors of prolonged hospital stay and death using data ...

BACKGROUND Affective disorders remain the leading cause of disability burden despite the availability of efficacious treatment. A wider dissemination of evidence-based health care is likely to impact this burden, however the affordability of such a strategy at the population level is unknown. This study calculated the cost-effectiveness of evidence-based health care for depression, dysthymia an...

INTRODUCTION The Singapore Burden of Disease (SBoD) Study 2004 provides a comprehensive and detailed assessment of the size and distribution of health problems in Singapore. It is the first local study to use disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) to quantify the total disease burden. METHODS The SBoD study applied the methods developed for the original Global Burden of Disease study to data ...

The overall disease burden consists of a disability component1 expressed as years lost to disability (YLD) and a mortality component expressed as years of life lost (YLL).2 The distribution of the overall disease burden increases with age, but with minor peaks in early childhood and early adulthood. For 2000, in early adulthood when the burden was almost entirely accounted for by disability, me...

OBJECTIVE To define TB control priorities using cost-effectiveness and burden of disease. METHODS An assumed cohort of 2,000 cases was set up based on age-specific incidence of 794 newly registered smear-positive cases in Beijing in 1994. Prognostic trees and model diagrams of infectivity with natural history and DOTS intervention were constructed based on the epidemiological parameters. RE...
