Lost years of human life (DALY) due to premature death from injuries in the Republic of Kazakhstan

 

Introduction. Various factors of priority importance influence the population health status: genetic background, living and working conditions, environmental and public health conditions. Population health status is an integral indicator, depending on many factors. Primarily, the interaction between a person and his environment, including the factor of production, financial support of vital human needs, healthcare system level.

Comprehensive assessment of health status based on data on mortality, morbidity and / or prevalence of disease in the studied population.

A new approach to integrated assessment of health is the method of the global burden of disease (GBD), which includes data on mortality, incidence of disease among the population and its disabling effects and the consequences of injuries, poisonings and accidents.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the number of lost life years (units DALY) due to premature mortality from trauma population of Kazakhstan in 2008.

Materials and Methods: The method of the global burden of disease is based on an assessment of the number of years lost population due to premature death and because of the debilitating effects of diseases, injuries, poisoning and accidents.

To study used data of the Agency for Statistics of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Form C51) for 2008.

Currently existing formula for calculating the number of lost life years (units DALY) is quite complicated and laborious. To simplify its use applied table DALY - indexes in health care.

Results: The results of the years lost due to premature mortality from injuries in Tables 1-4.

Among men, the largest share of lost life years (DALY) accounts for self-harm - 21,8 %, followed by transport accidents and poisoning, accounting for 19.1 and 12.2 % respectively. Among women, the distribution of life years lost from injury has a slightly different distribution (Table 2).

Conclusions: Distribution of lost life years (DALY) to localize the external causes of death from injury and poisoning has equal weight, both among women and among men, accounting for the largest share of head injuries (men - 21,8%, female 21.7%).

Other external causes of death in men were 28.3% of all injuries and 27.4% in women. Transport accidents account for 17.9% of men and women 22,2%. Quite a high percentage of deaths from intentional self-harm is celebrated as among women (17,5%) and men (21.3%).

Among the injuries, poisoning and other consequences of external causes the bulk of the deaths occurring in unspecified injuries and other external causes. These amounted to 42.17% in males and 38.0% for women, head injuries - 21.16% in males and 21.5% among women, poisoning, drugs, medicaments and biological substances - 15,9% of men and 19,7% in women. Greatest share of losses year falls on the age of 15 to 59 years.

Thus, the major proportion of deaths from injury have on working age. High percentage of deaths in the group "transport accidents" and "deliberate self-harm. " Most of the injuries noted in the group of "other external causes of death" and "unspecified injury, which requires a more complete detailing their reasons, localization and age.
