global burden Flashcards
health measurements include
- life expectancy
- disease prevalence
- mortality
—- the presence of illness or disability
morbidity
– deals with death rates in population
mortality
common metrics include
QALY , DALY , YLL , YLD
— combination of years lost due to premature deaths and years lived w/ disability
DALY ( disability-adjusted life years ) aka YLL + YLD
—— a measure that assess the quality and quantity of life , used to gauge the burden of disease and effective of health intervention
QALY ( quality adjusted life years )
tradition indicators of population health :
- life expectancy
- child mortality
- maternal mortality ratio
— provides a comprehensive measure of the disease burden by accounting both death and disability but is criticised bc of subjective nature of determining the severity of the disability
DALY
—- are useful for evaluating the effectiveness of intervention but may not fully capture all dimension of health
QALY
——-is a broad indicator of population health and doesnt reflect the quality of life
life expectancy
—- are clear and objective but fail to account non-fatal health issues that may impact well-being
mortality rates
—- is a ket metric in GBD to measure the pre-mature mortality and it focuses on the years a person would have lived if they weren’t dead lolz
YLL ( years life lost ) as someone dying at 30 when the average is 80 so YLL is 50
— accounts for the non-lethal impact of diseases and it measures the years lived in less than ideal health due to disabilities or illness
YLD ( years lived disability )
by combining —– and —- the DALY gives a more comprehensive pic of population health by including fatal and nonfatal outcomes
YLL , YLD
examples of chronic diseases :
examples of acute disease :
- diabetes , cvc , stroke , cancer , COPD , asthma all have high morbidity and low mortality
- flu , heart attack , strep throat, bronchitis , burn ( car accidents is an acute condition which have high mortality)
