The burden of legionnaires’ disease in Belgium, 2013 to 2017
incidence-based Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALY s) calculation. To account for uncertainty in the estimations of the DALY s and the true incidence, we used Monte Carlo simulations with 10,000 iterations. ...
Estimates of the 2015 global and regional disease burden from four foodborne metals- arsenic, cadmium, lead and methylmercury
and cadmium resulted in more than 1 million illnesses, over 56,000 deaths, and more than 9 million disability-adjusted life years (DALY s) worldwide. The greatest impact on DALY s was in the Western ...
The health and economic impact of acute gastroenteritis in Belgium, 2010-2014
cases occurring in the community. We further quantified the health impact in terms of disability-adjusted life years (DALY s) and the economic impact in terms of cost-of-illness estimates. We estimated ...
Global burden of intellectual disability resulting from prenatal exposure to methylmercury, 2015
for which no exposure data could be found. The global burden of MeHg-associated ID was quantified in terms of Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALY s) using the World Health Organization (WHO) Global ...
Global burden of late-stage chronic kidney disease resulting from dietary exposure to cadmium, 2015
performed to estimate the Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALY s) due to late-stage CKD associated with dietary exposures to cadmium. Using the distribution of population GFR s, the prevalence of CKD was ...
