A scoping review of burden of disease studies estimating disability-adjusted life years due to Taenia solium.

employed attributional disease models that relied on measuring the occurrence of epilepsy before applying an attributable fraction to estimate the occurrence of neurocysticercosis-associated epilepsy. This ...

A scoping review of burden of disease studies estimating disability-adjusted life years due to Taenia solium

relied on measuring the occurrence of epilepsy before applying an attributable fraction to estimate the occurrence of neurocysticercosis-associated epilepsy. This method relies heavily on the extrapolation ...

The association between area deprivation and COVID-19 incidence: a municipality-level spatio-temporal study in Belgium, 2020–2021

attributable fractions. Results A significant association between COVID-19 incidence and area deprivation was found over the entire study period, with the incidence in the most deprived areas predicted to be 24% higher ...

Estimating risk factor attributable burden – challenges and potential solutions when using the comparative risk assessment methodology

fractions (PAF s) quantifying the proportion of disease burden attributable to exposure. Among many available formulae for PAF s, it is important to use the one that allows consistency between definitions, ...

QALY losses for chronic diseases and its social distribution in the general population: results from the Belgian Health Interview Survey

assessed by estimating population attributable fractions (PAF). Results. For both years, the largest QALY losses were observed in dorsopathies, arthropathies, hypertension/high cholesterol, and genitourinary ...

Variation in smoking attributable all-cause mortality across municipalities in Belgium, 2018: application of a Bayesian approach for small area estimations

Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation (INLA). Deviance Information Criterion (DIC) and Conditional Predictive Ordinate (CPO) were computed to assess model fit. Population attributable fractions (PAF) were ...

HPV DNA genotyping, HPV E6*I mRNA detection, and p16INK4a/Ki-67 staining in Belgian head and neck cancer patient specimens, collected within the HPV-AHEAD study

compared to about 37.5 % and 44.0 % in OCC and LC, respectively. Estimation of the attributable fraction of an HPV infection in HNC was very similar for HPV RNA or p16 in addition to DNA-positivity; with 30 ...

Monitoring health inequalities when the socio-economic composition changes: are the slope and relative indices of inequality appropriate? Results of a simulation study

inequality policies. As an upwards shift of the educational level distribution (ELD) can be part of those policies, we examine how such a shift affects the SII, the RII and the population attributable fraction ...

Might Oral Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Infection in Healthy Individuals Explain Differences in HPV-Attributable Fractions in Oropharyngeal Cancer? A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: Differences in oral human papillomavirus (HPV) prevalence and contrasts in HPV-attributable fractions (AF s) in oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) have not been evaluated in depth. METHODS: A systematic ...
