“…This approach is derived from those updated and developed in the original GBD project. Since, this method is increasingly used by the researchers to estimate and quantify the burden of diseases in different settings worldwide [17]. The DALY was introduced and developed during the 1980-90s.…”

Background: Chronic diseases are considered the greatest public health concern globally, and contributor to a large burden of disease in developed world, and increasing rapidly in developing countries as well as Palestine. Where, Palestine is experiencing an epidemiological transition and a rapid increasing burden of chronic diseases as a consequence of rapid modifications in people behaviors. The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) project has made possible a new methodological approach and conceptual framework to estimate the burden of diseases and other health problems in populations everywhere nationally and globally.Objective: We quantify the burden of chronic diseases using disability -adjusted life years (DALYs) for 2010 in the Palestinian healthcare sector.

“…This condition accounts for 4.2% of the total disease burden in our country, and is the third leading specific cause of DALY loss after depression and dementia. 7 Calculation of DALY in the exploratory study was performed by an indirect method, 2 using mortality data from Spain and morbidity data from the WHO (World Health Organization) for the Euro-A region. 8 Euro-A includes countries with widely varying ischemic heart disease-related epidemiology, such as Finland, which has a standardized mortality rate of more than 191 deaths per 100 000 men and 101 per 100 000 women, and France and Spain, with rates of less than 95 and 45 deaths per 100 000 men and women, respectively.…”

“…Societal costs were estimated to be 798 € billion [5]. In Spain, in 2008, 1.5 million DALYs were lost due to brain disorders [6]. The vast majority of that burden is caused by the years lost due to disability (93.1% of the total DALYs) other than years of life lost [7].…”

BackgroundBrain disorders represent a high burden in Europe and worldwide. The objective of this study was to provide specific estimates of the economic costs of brain disorders in Spain, based on published epidemiological and economic evidence.MethodsA cost-of-illness study with a societal perspective of 19 brain disorders was carried out. Cost data published between 2004 and 2012 was obtained from a systematic literature review. Direct healthcare, direct non-medical and indirect costs were considered, prioritizing bottom-up information. All costs were converted to Euro and to year 2010. The missing values were imputed with European estimates. Sensitivity analyses based on qualitative assessment of the literature and on a Monte Carlo simulation were performed.ResultsThe review identified 33 articles with information on costs for 11 disorders (8 neurological, 3 mental). The average per–patient cost ranged from 36,946 € for multiple sclerosis to 402 € for headache. The societal cost of the 19 brain disorders in Spain in 2010 was estimated in 84 € billion. Societal costs ranged from 15 € billion for dementia to 65 € million for eating disorders. Mental disorders societal cost were 46 € billions (55% of the total), while neurological disorder added up to 38 € billion. Healthcare costs represented 37% of the societal costs of brain disorders, whereas direct non-medical constituted 29% and indirect costs 33%.ConclusionBrain disorders have a substantial economic impact in Spain (equivalent to almost 8% of the country's GDP). Economic data on several important brain disorders, specially mental disorders, is still sparse.
