Methodological choices in brucellosis burden of disease assessments: A systematic review
estimates (Years of Life Lost) in their assessments due to lack of data or the assumption that brucellosis is not a fatal disease. Only two studies used a model with variable health states and corresponding ...
Estimating risk factor attributable burden – challenges and potential solutions when using the comparative risk assessment methodology
described e.g. by a mathematical function. Combining estimates to arrive at coherent functions is challenging due to the large variability in risk exposure definitions and data quality. Also, the uncertainty ...
Burden of foodborne disease due to bacterial hazards associated with beef, dairy, poultry meat, and vegetables in Ethiopia and Burkina Faso, 2017
in both countries was substantial. Uncertainty distributions around the estimates spanned several orders of magnitude. This reflects data limitations, as well as variability in the transmission and ...
Global burden of intellectual disability resulting from dietary exposure to lead, 2015
the WHO Joint Expert Committee for Food Additives. Since both the exposure and dose response components were variable and uncertain, a two dimensional Monte-Carlo simulation was used to develop the ...
A probabilistic approach for risk-benefit assessment of food substitutions: A case study on substituting meat by fish
substituting red and processed meat with fish in the Danish adult population and the variability in health impact. We applied probabilistic approaches in modeling the substitution to reflect variability between ...
Development of a generic and open source Incidence-Prevalence-Mortality model for the assessment of chronic disease epidemiology
of the input variables vary continuously as a function of age, cubic smoothing splines were incorporated in DisModR. The DisMod() function in DisModR allows the user to compute the di erent ...
