A proposal for further developing fatigue-related post COVID-19 health states for burden of disease studies
lived with disability Abstract: Previous efforts to estimate the burden of fatigue-related symptoms due to long COVID have a very high threshold for inclusion of cases, relative to the proposed definition ...
Direct impact of COVID-19 by estimating disability-adjusted life years at national level in France in 2020
on the European Burden of Disease Network consensus disease model. Scenario analyses were performed by varying the number of symptomatic cases and duration of symptoms up to a maximum of 140 days, ...
Certainty of the Global Burden of Disease 2019 modelled prevalence estimates for musculoskeletal conditions: A meta-epidemiological study
case definitions and applied assessment instruments with unknown psychometric properties. The certainty of modelled prevalence estimates was low, mainly due to risk of bias and indirectness. Beyond the ...
The health and economic burden of musculoskeletal disorders in Belgium from 2013 to 2018
with the highest number of cases for both men and women, followed by LBP. In the same year, MSK disorders contributed to a total of 180,746 DALY s for female and 116,063 DALY s for men. LBP appeared to ...
Methodological choices in brucellosis burden of disease assessments: A systematic review
course of brucellosis and to estimate case-fatality rates. Additionally, reporting of methodological choices should be improved to enhance transparency and comparability of estimates. These steps will ...
Estimating the direct Disability-Adjusted Life Years associated with SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) in the Republic of Ireland: The first full year
There were 220,273 confirmed cases with a total of 4,500 deaths as a direct result of COVID-19. DALY s were estimated to be 51,622.8 (95% Uncertainty Intervals [UI] 50,721.7, 52,435.8). Overall, YLL ...
Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) due to the direct health impact of COVID-19 in India, 2020
deaths due to COVID-19 by the residual standard life expectancy at the age of death due to the disease. YLD was calculated as a product of the number of incident cases of COVID-19, disease duration and ...
Measuring disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) due to COVID-19 in Scotland, 2020
contextualise its population impact relative to other causes of disease and injury. Methods National deaths and daily case data were used. Deaths were based on underlying and contributory causes recorded on death ...
Estimating risk factor attributable burden – challenges and potential solutions when using the comparative risk assessment methodology
attached to this data is difficult to account for. Another key issue along the CRA-steps is to define a theoretical minimal risk exposure level for each risk factor. In some cases, this level is evident and ...
Assessing the burden of Taenia solium cysticercosis in Burundi, 2020
The cost per NCC-associated epilepsy case was 72 USD (95% UI, 25–168), representing 30.8% of the GDP per capita in 2020. The probable incident cases and deaths for NCC-associated epilepsy were 9065 (95% ...
