Calculating disability-adjusted life years to quantify burden of disease

International Journal of Public Health, 2014
The disability-adjusted life year or DALY is a summary measure of public health widely used to quantify burden of disease. In the DALY philosophy, every person is born with a certain number of life years potentially lived in optimal health. People may lose these healthy life years through living with illness and/or through dying before a reference life

Calculating disability-adjusted-life-years lost (DALYs) in discrete-time [PDF]

Cost Effectiveness and Resource Allocation, 2013
Disability-adjusted-life-years lost (DALYs) is a common outcome metric for cost-effectiveness analyses, and the equations used for such calculations have been presented previously by Fox-Rushby and Hanson (see, e.g., "Health Policy and Planning 16:326-331, 2001").
