Journal ArticleDOI

Global, regional, and national disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for 306 diseases and injuries and healthy life expectancy (HALE) for 188 countries, 1990-2013 : quantifying the epidemiological transition

Christopher J L Murray, +611 more
- 28 Nov 2015 - 
TL;DR: Patterns of the epidemiological transition with a composite indicator of sociodemographic status, which was constructed from income per person, average years of schooling after age 15 years, and the total fertility rate and mean age of the population, were quantified.
Journal ArticleDOI

The projected burden of primary total knee and hip replacement for osteoarthritis in Australia to the year 2030.

Ilana N. Ackerman, +10 more
- 23 Feb 2019 - 
TL;DR: If surgery trends for OA continue, Australia faces an unsustainable joint replacement burden by 2030, with significant healthcare budget and health workforce implications and strategies to reduce national obesity could produce important TKR savings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Data Linkage: A powerful research tool with potential problems

Megan Bohensky, +6 more
- 22 Dec 2010 - 
TL;DR: A number of relevant patient or population factors may be associated with incomplete data linkage resulting in systematic bias in reported clinical outcomes and readers should consider these factors in interpreting the reported results of data linkage studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

The extra resource burden of in-hospital falls: a cost of falls study

Renata Morello, +10 more
- 02 Nov 2015 - 
TL;DR: To quantify the additional hospital length of stay (LOS) and costs associated with in‐hospital falls and fall injuries in acute hospitals in Australia, a large number of patients have had multiple falls in the past year.
Journal ArticleDOI

Substantial rise in the lifetime risk of primary total knee replacement surgery for osteoarthritis from 2003 to 2013: an international, population-level analysis

Ilana N. Ackerman, +16 more
- 01 Apr 2017 -
