Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALY) Disability-adjusted life years (DALY) have been proposed by the World Bank and the WHO as a measure of the global impact of disease on individual illness status. DALY combines information about morbidity and mortality and is expressed in terms of numbers of healthy years lost.

Jan 1, 2023 · The similarities and differences between the QALY and DALY measures (with a special emphasis on whether there is an impact from using the latter) have previously been discussed (e.g., Sassi, 2006, Airoldi and Morton, 2009, Morton, 2010). Our results add new insights to this discussion.

Apr 1, 2015 · As exposure to contaminants may also cause health loss, DALY was used in a number of studies for quantifying the impacts of environmental pollution (Fewtrell et al., 2003, Prüss-Üstün et al., 2003, Dorota et al., 2006, Kim et al., 2011, Ragas et al., 2011a, Ragas et al., 2011b, Xiao et al., 2012a, Xiao et al., 2012b, Wei et al., 2012, Machdar et al., 2013), thus leading to a new paradigm of ...

History, Science and Methods. S.J. O'Brien, in Encyclopedia of Food Safety, 2014 Disability-Adjusted Life Years. In the Netherlands, in 2009, the burden of NoV infection alone was estimated to be 1622 (95% confidence interval (CI) 966–2650) disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) in a population of 16.5 million, which is a large amount for what is …

Mar 1, 2015 · DALY guidelines and GBD studies from the 1990s and early 2000s generally recommended using a 3% discount rate and also presenting the results that would occur with a 0% discount rate and with a 6% rate [36], [37], [39].

Dec 22, 2020 · Age-standardized DALY rates due to AF/AFL were highest in high-income North America, Australasia, Central Asia, and Europe and were observed to be lowest in the high-income Asia Pacific region (Figure 9). Also, Andean and Central Latin America, the Caribbean, sub-Saharan Africa, and North Africa and the Middle East displayed low rates.

Oct 1, 2021 · In times of medical scarcity, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, ethical decisions about allocating critical care resources must be based on individual assessments of whether the patient is likely to benefit from treatment. 42 In practice, many states and hospital systems developed crisis plans that based triage decisions on quality of life ...

The estimated DALY number and age-standardized DALY rates increased by 6.2 (95 % UI,1.9–11.4) % and 2.2 (95 % UI,0.3–4.6) %, respectively (Supplemental Table S1 and Supplemental Fig. S1). The disease burden from 1990 to 2021 for both sexes is shown in Fig. 2, with males accounting for a higher proportion than females.
