We used findings from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 to report burden musculoskeletal disorders in Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR).The was calculated for EMR's 22 countries between 1990 and 2013. A systematic analysis performed on mortality morbidity data estimate prevalence, death, years live lost, lived with disability disability-adjusted life (DALYs).For disorders, crude DALYs rate per 100 000 increased 1297.1 (95% uncertainty interval (UI) 924.3-1703.4) 1606.0 UI...
Background:The world is currently experiencing a pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).In Korea, as in other countries, the number confirmed cases and deaths due to COVID-19 have been rising.This study aimed calculate burden Korea.Methods: We used data on between January 20 April 24, 2020 provided by Korea Centers for Disease Control Prevention, local governments public media determine disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) sex age.Morbidity was estimated directly among confirmed,...

The study aims to examine the current status and differences in burden of disease Korea during 2008-2018. We calculated for Koreans from 2008 2018 using an incidence-based approach. Disability adjusted life years (DALYs) were expressed units per 100 000 population by adding lost (YLLs) lived with disability (YLDs). DALY calculation results presented gender, age group, disease, region, income level. To explore DALYs region level, we used administrative district insurance premium information...
