OBJECTIVE
To calculate the monetary value of tuberculosis (TB) elimination and of progress in TB control in twentieth-century England and Wales.
METHODS
An original methodology that utilises original data is used, which facilitates the calculation of the number of life years that have been saved as a result of the decline in the TB mortality rate, prevalence rate and quality of life burden.
RESULTS
The magnitude of the decline in the mortality and morbidity burden of TB is estimated at 104,425 life years, which is valued to be worth in excess of US$127 billion. The value of improvements in morbidity contributes nearly as much as the more obvious gains for mortality.
CONCLUSION
Such significant results indicating the value of improvements in TB control have important implications for our understanding of these achievements and justify increased spending in developing countries that continue to be plagued by high rates of TB prevalence.
目的
计算20世纪英格兰和威尔士消除结核病及结核病控制进展所带来的货币价值。
方法
采用一种利用原始数据的原创方法，该方法有助于计算由于结核病死亡率、患病率和生活质量负担下降而挽救的生命年数。
结果
结核病死亡率和发病率负担的下降幅度估计为104,425个生命年，其价值超过1270亿美元。发病率改善的价值几乎与死亡率方面更显著的收益相当。
结论
这些表明结核病控制改善价值的显著结果，对于我们理解这些成就具有重要意义，也证明在仍受高结核病患病率困扰的发展中国家增加支出是合理的。
