disability-adjusted life year

Dengue is thought to have a disease burden of about 1600 disability-adjusted life years per million population.

The following tables record the age-standardised disability-adjusted life years rates per 100,000 inhabitants (recorded in 2004).

A world map shows the estimated disability-adjusted life years per 100,000 inhabitants lost due to hypertensive heart disease in 2004.

Disability-adjusted life year rates, for example, appear to be higher in developing countries, where medical coverage may be poorer and medication less available.

In 2004, the World Health Organization calculated that 1.5 billion disability-adjusted life years were lost to disease and injury.

Such an intervention would gain 16.5 million disability-adjusted life years with an economic benefit of $56 million for a total cost of $44.5 million.

It causes approximately 1% of worldwide disability-adjusted life years (DALYs).

The original project estimated health gaps using disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for eight regions of the world in 1990.

Giving What We Can focuses on disability-adjusted life years (DALYs).

It provided a standardised approach to epidemiological assessment and uses a standard unit, the disability-adjusted life year (DALY), to aid comparisons.

Disability-adjusted life year (DALY)

A useful screening program reduces the number of years of potential life lost (longer lives) and disability-adjusted life years lost (longer healthy lives).

The disability-adjusted life year (DALY) is a measure of overall disease burden, expressed as the number of years lost due to ill-health, disability or early death.

Chronic, non-communicable diseases account for an estimated 80% of total deaths and 70% of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) lost in China.

Impact on human quality and quantity of life is measured with the DALY, or Disability-Adjusted Life Year.

Several measures exist: disability-adjusted life year (DALY), quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), and mortality measurements.

The disease burden of treatable childhood diseases in high-mortality, poor countries is 5.2% in terms of disability-adjusted life years but just 0.2% in the case of advanced countries.

When measured in disability-adjusted life years, the global disease burden from hookworm exceeds all other major tropical infectious diseases with the exception of malaria, leishmaniasis, and lymphatic filariasis (pp.

Researchers say bipolar disorder (BP) is responsible for the loss of more disability-adjusted life years than all forms of cancer or other neurological conditions, such as Alzheimer's and epilepsy.

The quality-adjusted life year (QALY) and disability-adjusted life year (DALY) metrics are similar, but take into account whether the person was healthy after diagnosis.

The Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) estimates that the number of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) lost due to asthma is 15 million per year globally.

The most common viral disease transmitted by arthropods, dengue has a disease burden estimated to be 1600 disability-adjusted life years per million population, which is similar to tuberculosis, another childhood and tropical disease.

The technocratic approach, championed by Kuran and Sunstein, emphasizes assessing, prioritizing, and mitigating risks according to objective risk measures (e.g. expected costs, expected disability-adjusted life years (DALY)).

Health expectancies such as disability-adjusted life year and Healthy Life Years are the remaining number of years a person can expect to live in a specific health state, such as free of disability.
