TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimated deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs; sum of years lived with disability [YLD] and years of life lost [YLL]) attributable to the independent effects of 67 risk factors and clusters of risk factors for 21 regions in 1990 and 2010.
Journal ArticleDOI

Use of a decision aid including information on overdetection to support informed choice about breast cancer screening: a randomised controlled trial

TL;DR: Information on overdetection of breast cancer provided within a decision aid increased the number of women making an informed choice about breast screening, which might mean women are less likely to choose screening.
Journal ArticleDOI

The global burden of occupationally related low back pain: estimates from the Global Burden of Disease 2010 study

TL;DR: LBP arising from ergonomic exposures at work is an important cause of disability and there is a need for improved information on exposure distributions and relative risks, particularly in developing countries.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of information about overdetection of breast cancer on women's decision-making about mammography screening: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

TL;DR: This research will help ensure that information about overdetection may be communicated clearly and effectively, using an evidence-based approach, to women considering breast cancer screening.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis of breast cancer mortality benefit and overdiagnosis adjusted for adherence: improving information on the effects of attending screening mammography.

TL;DR: Adjustment for nonadherence increased the size of the mortality benefit and risk of overdiagnosis by up to 50%, more appropriate when developing quantitative information to support individual decisions about attending screening mammography.
