Mortality burden of cardiovascular disease attributable to ambient PM2.5 exposu...
Corda, Mariana O.; Charalampous, Periklis; Haagsma, Juanita A.; Assunção, Ricardo; Martins, CarlaBackground: Exposure to high levels of environmental air pollution causes several health outcomes and has been associated with increased mortality, premature mortality, and morbidity. Ambient exposure to PM2.5 is currently considered the leading environmental risk factor globally. A causal relationship between exposure to PM2.5 and the contribution of this exposure to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality was ...
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...

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...
