Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between incidence and prevalence?
Incidence counts new cases of a disease over a period. Prevalence counts everyone who has the disease at a point or over a period, including existing cases.
What is a natural history study?
It follows the course of a disease over time to describe how it progresses. It is especially important in rare diseases, where it can inform trial design.
What is disease burden research?
It measures the impact of a disease on patients, health systems, and society, combining incidence, prevalence, and mortality with healthcare use and costs.
How is burden of disease measured?
By combining how common a condition is with its effects: incidence, prevalence, mortality, disability-adjusted life years, healthcare utilization, and costs.
What is a cost of illness study?
It estimates the total economic impact of a disease over a period, including direct medical costs and often indirect costs such as lost productivity.
