colorectal cancer patients aged 65 years. Ninety-five percent uncertainty intervals around median YLD values were estimated by Monte Carlo methods. Results The median estimated YLD per 1000 cases (due to both ...

Measuring disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) due to low back pain in Malta
were estimated for the whole population by age and sex. Since LBP does not carry any mortality, YLD reflected DALY s. The estimated local DALY s per 100,000 were compared to the GBD 2017 study results ...
Population vulnerability to COVID-19 in Europe: a burden of disease analysis
population-level vulnerability. Results Countries with the highest proportions of elderly residents were Italy, Greece, Germany, Portugal and Finland. When assessments of population-level YLD rates for COVID-19 vulnerable health ...
