Multimorbidity and frailty are associated with poorer SARS-CoV-2-related outcom...
Makovski, Tatjana T.; Ghattas, Jinane; Monnier-Besnard, Stéphanie; Cavillot, Lisa; Ambrožová, Monika; Vašinová, Barbora; Feteira-Santos, RodrigoBackground: Estimating the risks and impacts of COVID-19 for different health groups at the population level is essential for orienting public health measures. Adopting a population-based approach, we conducted a systematic review to explore: (1) the etiological role of multimorbidity and frailty in developing SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19-related short-term outcomes; and (2) the prognostic role of multimor...
Burden of disease attributable to risk factors in European countries: a scoping...
Gorasso, Vanessa; Morgado, Joana Nazaré; Charalampous, Periklis; Pires, Sara M.; Haagsma, Juanita A.; Santos, João Vasco; Idavain, Jane; Ngwa, Che HenryObjectives: Within the framework of the burden of disease (BoD) approach, disease, and injury burden estimates attributable to risk factors are a useful guide for policy formulation and priority setting in disease prevention. Considering the important differences in methods, and their impact on burden estimates, we conducted a scoping literature review to: (1) map the BoD assessments including risk factors perf...
Methodological considerations in injury burden of disease studies across Europe...
Charalampous, Periklis; Pallari, Elena; Gorasso, Vanessa; von der Lippe, Elena; Devleesschauwer, Brecht; Pires, Sara M.; Plass, Dietrich; Idavain, JaneBackground: Calculating the disease burden due to injury is complex, as it requires many methodological choices. Until now, an overview of the methodological design choices that have been made in the burden of disease (BoD) studies in injury populations is not available. The aim of this systematic literature review was to identify existing injury BoD studies undertaken across Europe and to comprehensively revie...
Burden of non-communicable disease studies in Europe: a systematic review of da...
Charalampous, Periklis; Gorasso, Vanessa; Plass, Dietrich; Pires, Sara M; von der Lippe, Elena; Mereke, Alibek; Idavain, JaneBackground: Assessment of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) resulting from non-communicable diseases (NCDs) requires specific calculation methods and input data. The aims of this study were to (i) identify existing NCD burden of disease (BoD) activities in Europe; (ii) collate information on data sources for mortality and morbidity; and (iii) provide an overview of NCD-specific methods for calculating NCD ...

Unravelling data for rapid evidence-based response to COVID-19: a summary of th...
Peñalvo, José L.; Mertens, Elly; Ademović, Enisa; Akgun, Seval; Baltazar, Ana Lúcia; Buonfrate, Dora; Čoklo, Miran; Devleesschauwer, BrechtIntroduction unCoVer - Unravelling data for rapid evidence-based response to COVID-19 - is a Horizon 2020-funded network of 29 partners from 18 countries capable of collecting and using real-world data (RWD) derived from the response and provision of care to patients with COVID-19 by health systems across Europe and elsewhere. unCoVer aims to exploit the full potential of this information to rapidly address cli...
Burden of Disease Methods: a Guide to Calculate COVID-19 Disability-Adjusted Li...
Wyper, Grant; Assunção, Ricardo; Colzani, Edoardo; Grant, Ian; Haagsma, Juanita A; Lagerweij, Giske; Von der Lippe, Elena; McDonald, Scott A.Background: To date, most efforts to understand the comparative population health impact of COVID-19 have been made using mortality-based metrics. This has intensified discussion over methodological choices; in particular, how we value the life-years prematurely lost due to COVID-19. So far, the direct impact of COVID-19 on population health has varied across countries, with wide variation in incidence and infe...
Population vulnerability to COVID-19 in Europe: a burden of disease analysis
Wyper, Grant M.A.; Assunção, Ricardo; Cuschieri, Sarah; Devleesschauwer, Brecht; Fletcher, Eilidh; Haagsma, Juanita A.; Hilderink, Henk B.M.Background: Evidence has emerged showing that elderly people and those with pre-existing chronic health conditions may be at higher risk of developing severe health consequences from COVID-19. In Europe, this is of particular relevance with ageing populations living with non-communicable diseases, multi-morbidity and frailty. Published estimates of Years Lived with Disability (YLD) from the Global Burden of Dis...
Epidemiology of taeniosis/cysticercosis in Europe, a systematic review: Part I,...
Laranjo-González, Minerva; Devleesschauwer, Brecht; Chiara, Trevisan; Alberto, Allepuz; Smaragda, Sotiraki; Annette, Abraham; Joachim, BlocherBackground: Taenia solium and Taenia saginata are zoonotic parasites of public health importance. Data on their occurrence in humans and animals in western Europe are incomplete and fragmented. In this study, we aimed to update the current knowledge on the epidemiology of these parasites in this region. Methods: We conducted a systematic review of scientific and grey literature published from 1990 to 2015 on th...
