abstract: 'The global burden of disease (GBD) has been measured primarily through
|
|
|
|
the use of the DALY metric. Using this approach, preliminary estimates
|
|
|
|
were that 11\% of the GBD is surgical. However, prior work has
|
|
|
|
questioned specific aspects of the GBD methodology as well as its
|
|
|
|
practicality. This paper refines other conceptual approaches based on
|
|
|
|
met and unmet population need for services by considering incident and
|
|
|
|
prevalent need as well as backlogs for treatment that can inform
|
|
|
|
effective coverage of services. Some of these methods are tested using
|
|
|
|
the example of surgical repair of cleft lip and palate. Measurement of
|
|
|
|
disability incurred by delays in care may also be estimated through
|
|
|
|
these approaches and has not previously been estimated through a
|
|
|
|
validated model. These concepts may provide more practical information
|
|
|
|
for individuals and organizations to advocate for scaling up surgical
|
|
|
|
programs. While many surgical conditions are unique, as a single
|
|
|
|
intervention can lead to cure, these concepts may also prove useful for
|
|
|
|
non-surgical diseases. Further exploration of these approaches is
|
|
|
|
merited in resource-limited settings. (C) 2014 Surgical Associates Ltd.
