Title

Methodology for computing the burden of disease of adverse events following immunization.

Published in

Pharmacoepidemiol Drug Saf 2018; advance online publication (ahead of print)

Publiekssamenvatting

Composite disease burden measures such as disability-adjusted life-years (DALY) have been widely used to quantify the population-level health impact of disease or injury, but application has been limited for the estimation of the burden of adverse events following immunization. Our objective was to assess the feasibility of adapting the DALY approach for estimating adverse event burden.
