摘要
伤残调整期望寿命年 (DALE)是新的健康综合衡量指标 ,WHO将其用于各成员国卫生系统的绩效评价。DALE是一种衡量人们相当于在完全健康状况下生活年数的指标 ,计算时通常使用沙利文 (Sullivan)法 ,人群伤残现患率和伤残严重性权重是关键数据 ,其来源有多种。与伤残调整寿命年 (DALY)相比 ,DALE的作用更加广泛。
As a new summary measure of population health in the World Health Report 2000, WHO initiated disability-adjusted life expectancy (DALE) to assess the health performance in all member countries. DALE is a general term for health expectancy that estimates equivalent years of good health status. Sullivan method is applied to compute DALE value using data from country life table and severity-weighted disability prevalence. WHO believed that DALE should be more appropriate for population health assessment. Many potential applications of DALE were mentioned in the paper.
