What are the Common Indicators of Disease Burden?

In addition to DALYs and QALYs, other important indicators include incidence and prevalence, mortality rates, hospitalization rates, and financial costs. Incidence measures the number of new cases of a disease in a specified period, while prevalence measures the total number of cases at a given time. Mortality rates reflect the number of deaths, and hospitalization rates indicate the frequency of severe cases requiring medical attention. Financial costs consider both direct medical expenses and indirect costs such as lost productivity.
