Dengue disease burden estimates in Mexico per million population.

Notes: YLL denotes Years of Life Lost, YLD denotes Years Lost due to Disability, and DALYs denote Disability-Adjusted Life-Years. The WHO method refers to the original definition of DALYs proposed by Murray et al. in 1994 [55,56], and used subsequently for most burden of disease estimates. The parameters used (age weights, disability weight, and discount rate) were based on previous studies, for comparability [44,52,91]. The GBD 2010 method refers to an updated definition of DALYs used in the Global Burden of Disease (GBD 2010 study) [16], where age weighting and time discounting were dropped from the disease burden estimates. 95% CL denotes a 95% certainty level for each estimate, obtained through Monte Carlo simulations using the probability distributions shown in Table 5. These numbers in parentheses indicate the region of uncertainty around base-case estimates. WHO denotes World Health Organization, YLL denotes years of life lost, YLD denotes years lived with disability, DALY denotes disability adjusted life-years, CL denotes certainty level.Dengue disease burden estimates in Mexico per million population.
