“DALY CALCULATION” WORKSHEET

The purpose of this worksheet is to calculate the number of DALYs saved per case of HIV averted. It is based on methods of DALY calculation described by Murray (1996), a disease progression scenario described by (Chin, 1989) and (Chin & Sonnenberg, 1991), and a figure for average life expectancy entered by the user in “Setting” C46 - C48. A graph showing disability weights as a function of age is displayed starting in cell J20. The disease progression scenario can be altered by entering different values in cells L9 - L18. However, unless you have good data suggesting pediatric HIV disease progression in your setting is substantially different from what is given here, we suggest that you leave these numbers as they are. In any case, results are fairly insensitive to changes in the disease progression inputs.
