残疾调整生命年（DALY）是将死亡率和发病率合并为单一指标的一项综合健康指标，是估计全球疾病负担和卫生干预措施有效性的一种方法。我们回顾了DALY的方法进展，重点关注自1993年第一份DALY报告发表以来，预期寿命估计、残疾权重、年龄加权和贴现的使用是如何演变的。这些变化总体上改进了度量标准，但使研究人员难以解释、比较和开展DALY研究。Elsevier Ltd.出版。
The disability-adjusted life year (DALY) is a summary health measure that combines mortality and morbidity into a single measure as a way to estimate global disease burden and the effectiveness of health interventions. We review the methodological progression of the DALY, focusing on how the use of life expectancy estimates, disability weights, age weighting, and discounting has evolved since the first DALY reports were published in 1993. These changes have generally improved the metric but have made it difficult for researchers to interpret, compare, and conduct DALY studies. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
