Issue Date: | 2023 | Publisher: | BMC | Source: | BMC PUBLIC HEALTH, 23 (1) (Art N° 1707) | Abstract: | Burden of disease estimates have become important population health metrics over the past decade to measure losses in health. In Belgium, the disease burden caused by COVID-19 has not yet been estimated, although COVID-19 has emerged as one of the most important diseases. Therefore, the current study aims to estimate the direct COVID-19 burden in Belgium, observed despite policy interventions, during 2020 and 2021, and compare it to the burden from other causes. | Keywords: | Burden of disease;COVID-19;Disability-adjusted life years;Years of life lost;Years lived with disability | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/43155 | e-ISSN: | 1471-2458 | DOI: | 10.1186/s12889-023-16572-0 | ISI #: | 001188313300001 | Rights: | The Author(s) 2023.
