Result data set BURDEN 2020 – burden of disease in Germany and its regions

Indicators of the burden of disease are increasingly coming to the fore for a variety of applications, including in the federal and state public health service, research, development and other areas of health care. They measure the health status of a population using a consistent metric. Also referred to as summary measures of population health, they integrate various diseases and injuries as causes of health impairments (morbidity) and death (mortality). Standardized calculation methods make it possible to quantify the importance of individual diseases and to compare them with each other. The possibility of stratification by region, age or gender also allows for a differentiated view. The key figures include the indicator for the total burden of disease (DALY), which is the sum of the two individual components of mortality (YLL) and morbidity (YLD). These indicators were developed as part of the "BURDEN 2020 - The burden of disease in Germany and its regions" project. at national and regional level. With the present data publication, the result data set of the project is made available to the public (open data). It contains the structure and content of the result data set, a brief overview of the project, the data sources used and the methods used to determine the individual indicators. The result data were visualized to illustrate the concept on the website <a href="http://www.daly.rki.de">www.daly.rki.de</a>.疾病负担指标在联邦与州级公共卫生服务、科研开发及其他医疗保健领域的各类应用中愈发受到重视。这类指标以统一的量化标准评估人群健康状态，又被称为人群健康综合测度（summary measures of population health），其将各类疾病与损伤分别作为健康损害（发病，morbidity）与死亡（mortality）的诱因进行整合。标准化的计算方法可量化单一疾病的影响程度并实现跨疾病对比，同时支持按区域、年龄或性别进行分层分析，从而提供精细化的观察视角。核心指标包括疾病总负担指标（DALY），该指标由死亡损失健康生命年（Years of Life Lost, YLL）与伤残损失健康生命年（Years Lived with Disability, YLD）两个独立组分加总得到。上述指标系“BURDEN 2020——德国及其区域的疾病负担”项目在国家与区域层面的研究成果。本次数据发布将该项目的结果数据集对外开放（开放数据），内容涵盖结果数据集的结构与内容、项目简要概况、所用数据源及各指标的测算方法。相关结果数据已完成可视化，并在官网<a href="http://www.daly.rki.de">www.daly.rki.de</a>中对相关概念进行了演示说明。
