...In GBD 2010, a Bayesian meta-regression tool, DisMod-MR, was used to pool heterogeneous information and derive missing data by making use of the mathematical relationship between incidence, prevalence, remission and mortality parameters (Vos et al. 2012)....
[...]
...To calculate uncertainty around the final prevalence estimates, DisMod-MR fitted a randomized Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm (Vos et al. 2012) informed by: error estimates from the epidemiological data input; estimated age patterns; regional and country patterns; and study and country…...

...Disability weights were developed for GBD 2010 by Salomon et al. (2012) with the results of this study reported in the 2012 GBD Lancet series (Salomon et al. 2012; Vos et al. 2012)....

...To correct for any co-morbidities in YLDs between ASDs and all other causes included in GBD 2010, a co-morbidity correction was carried out using microsimulation methods across YLD estimates (Vos et al. 2012)....

...Globally, the case fatality rate of patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis (estimated from an analysis of hospital data) remained unchanged, at about 20% (95% uncertainty interval: 15 to 26) in 1990 and 22% (16 to 28) in 2010, even in more developed countries [1,2,26]....

...We estimated country-level prevalence of chronic hepatitis viral infection for all years between 1980 and 2010 using DisMod 3, a meta-regression tool described in more detail elsewhere [1,26]....
