Frequently Asked Questions (13)
Q2. What are the commonly used health states for keratinocyte carcinoma?
The most commonly used health states for skin disease were 3 levels of severity of disfigurement with or without itch and/or pain.
Q3. What was used to produce the death weights for skin diseases?
The Cause of Death Ensemble Model (CODEm) tool was used to produce mortality estimates based on data on causes of death from the extensive GBD collection of vital registration and verbal autopsy data.
Q4. What is the role of dermatology in the global health landscape?
Not only do skin diseases cause substantial pain, disfigurement, and psychological and financial morbidity, but dermatologic findings are often the initial manifestation of systemic disease.
Q5. What is the prevalence of alopecia areata?
Skin diseases arranged in order of decreasing global DALYs are as follows: dermatitis (atopic, contact, seborrheic), acne vulgaris, urticaria, psoriasis, viral skin diseases, fungal skin diseases, scabies, melanoma, pyoderma, cellulitis, keratinocyte carcinoma, decubitus ulcer, and alopecia areata.
Q6. What is the role of dermatology in global health?
A commitment to accurate, transparent, and frequently updated metrics of disease burden has the potential to affect diverse levels of health care and further the role of dermatology in global health.
Q7. What is the leading cause of DALYs in the past decade?
As a reference point, the leading cause of global DALYs over the past decade has been ischemic heart disease, responsible for 150.2 million all-age DALYs in 2013.
Q8. What is the role of the GBD methodology in the field of health?
With each iteration of GBD, disease classification methods become more standardized and can become a guide to epidemiologists collecting empirical data on preferred case definitions and study methods.
Q9. how long did the duration of alopecia areata in gbd 2010?
duration of disease was decreased from approximately 1 year in GBD 2010 to between 2 weeks for treated disease to 4 weeks for untreated disease in GBD 2013.
Q10. How long did Neal et al estimate the duration of a melanom?
As defined by Neal et al,7 duration until diagnosis included days from first presentation in general practice (GP) to referral or GP biopsy, days from referral to first seen in clinic, days from first seen in clinic to biopsy/wide local excision for GP excisions, and days from presentation to biopsy/wide local excision for GP excisions.
Q11. What is the impact of the GBD methodology on public health?
This advancement has important implications for the field of public health and clinical medicine, including dermatology, as it will aid research priority-setting decisions and public policy efforts at local and national levels.
Q12. What is the leading cause of DALYs in the world?
14,15 Comparing absolute DALYs and/or YLDs, skin and subcutaneous diseases were the 18th leading cause of global DALYs and the fourth leading cause of nonfatal burden in GBD 2013.
Q13. What is the metric of disability-adjusted life year?
2,3 Disease burden was estimated using the metric of disability-adjusted life year (DALY), which is the sum of years of life lost to a disease (YLLs) plus years lived with disability (YLDs).
