DALYs = YLLs + YLDs
Overall health loss
Health loss due to premature
mortality
Health loss due to living with disability

Challenges of YLD estimation
Data sources
Uncertainty
• No single source of data for YLDs from all conditions
• Inconsistency and gaps in information
• Uncertainty from data itself, lack of data, disability weights
Process specifications
• Complex disease epidemiology
• Severity distributions of health states
• Comorbidity

Prevalence:
─ Estimates of country-/year-/age-/sex-specific disease sequela prevalence
─ Identify and pool all usable data sources
Disability weights (DWs):
─ Estimates of the disability associated with each health state
─ GBD Disability Survey, 2012

Methods
• DisMod-MR
• Natural history models
• Geospatial models
• Back-calculation models
• Registration completeness models
![Page 8: Years lived with disability: Methods and Key Findings](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061300/54c67b1a4a7959b6298b4649/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

DisMod-MR
• Bayesian Disease Modeling Meta-Regression tool
• Negative binomial statistical model
• Performs crosswalks to adjust for methodological variation
• Incorporates assumptions to inform the model
• Borrows strength using covariates and super-region, region, and country random effects to inform regions/countries with little or no data
• Forces consistency among disease parameters

Direct estimation of disease sequelae
Maternal sepsis
Disability envelopes for etiological attribution
Otitis media Congenital Meningitis Other causes
Hearing loss
Disability envelopes for disease sequelae Diabetes mellitus

Diabetic foot ulcer
Diabetic amputation
Uncomplicated diabetes
Diabetic retinopathy

DisMod-MR output
• Epidemiological parameters estimated for:
o187 countries
oYears 1990, 2005, 2010
oSingle-year age groups
oBoth sexes
• Estimates repeated 1,000 times to define uncertainty
Need to build in reality of comorbidity

Comorbidity adjustment
11
1 Simulate comorbidity distribution• Use prevalence and disability weights across hypothetical 20,000
people in each demographic group
2 Calculate combined disability weights (CDW)
where n = number of health states observed for individual i
3 Reaggregate by disease sequela• Apportion CDWs to each of the contributing sequelae in proportion to
the DW of a sequela on its own
4 Quantify uncertainty • Repeat 1,000 times to estimate uncertainty
Comorbidity-adjusted YLDs with uncertainty

Major shifts in global YLDs, 1990 to 2010
1) Very slow decline in YLD rates relative to YLL rates.
2) Steady shift toward a larger share of burden from YLDs.
3) The main causes of YLDs are non-communicable diseases.
4) People are living longer but with more disability.
