DALY weights describe the weights that are given to different diseases in the calculation of disability-adjusted life years.

Scope

DALY weight (also called: disability weight, severity weight) is a number that describes the severity of a disease. It varies from 0 (perfect health) to 1 (death).

Definition

Causality

No causal parents

Data

Disability weights are obtained by posing two different Person Trade-Off (PTO) questions to expert panels Question 1 compares life extensions for disabled and healthy people Question 2 compares cures for illness with extension of life

Ideally, these values should be derived from empirical data among representative populations. Combining the answers to these questions results in an average disability weight. Usually, these weights are presented as a fixed parameter, without a confidence interval or other type of distribution.

Arguments defending this approach include:

- DALY weights are an intrinsically subjective value for which no "true estimate" exists. They should be treated as a normative value, which does not need further uncertainty intervals.

- Uncertainty in very small DALY weights (for less severe effects) affects overall outcomes of DALY calculations much more than uncertainty in large disability weights. This is a "flaw" of the method: if health would be defined as 1 and death as 0 (as is being done with QALYs), the more severe outcomes would have more overall uncertainty. The uncertainty is greatest for the smallest disability weights and narrows as more severe weights are attained (figure 5.16^[1] ).This provides a skewed image. In order to avoid this, distributions should not be used. Another solution might be to normalize the weights. D↷

Arguments opposing this approach include:

- Estimates of DALY weights differ between experts, so this variation should be presented in the overall distribution of these weights.

Including uncertainty intervals of disability weights will probably not affect the ranking of overall disease burden estimates very significantly (WHO GBD study). However, it will affect the confidence interval of individual estimates.
