Multimorbidity adjusted years lost to disability rates calculated through Monte-Carlo simulation in Korea.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

OBJECTIVES: To efficiently utilize limited health and medical resources, it is necessary to accurately measure the level of health, which requires estimating the multimorbidity-corrected burden of disease.

Methods

METHODS: This study used 2015 and 2016 data from the National Health Insurance Service, and employed the list of diseases defined in a Korean study of the burden of disease, the criteria for prevalence, and the "cause-sequelae-health state" disease system. When calculating the years lost to disability (YLD), multimorbidity was corrected using Monte-Carlo simulation.

Results

RESULTS: Correcting for multimorbidity changed YLD at all ages in Korea by -1.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], -24.1 to 3.6) in males and -12.4% (95% CI, -23.0 to 0.3) in fema
