The study aimed to calculate years of life lost (YLL) and years of potential life lost (YPLL) due to malignant mesothelioma (MM) in Turkey. YLL was computed by estimating the difference between age at death due to MM and the expected death age. To calculate YPLL, all deaths above 65 years (retirement age) were disregarded. Of the 5,617 deaths due to MM in the study period, 3,241 (57.70%) were male and 2,376 (42.30%) were female. The median YLL and YPLL were 16.58 and 25.13 for males and 19.83 and 28.50 years for females. YLL and YPLL were shorter in males than females ( < 0.001). Premature mortality cost per death was $ 45,963.57 (2.23 times higher for males). MM is associated with high YLL, YPLL and economic burden in a country with environmental asbestos exposure in the rural areas.
该研究旨在计算土耳其因恶性间皮瘤(MM)导致的寿命损失年数(YLL)和潜在寿命损失年数(YPLL)。YLL通过估计因MM死亡的年龄与预期死亡年龄之间的差异来计算。为了计算YPLL,所有65岁以上(退休年龄)的死亡病例被排除。在研究期间因MM死亡的5617例病例中,3241例(57.70%)为男性,2376例(42.30%)为女性。男性的YLL和YPLL中位数分别为16.58年和25.13年,女性分别为19.83年和28.50年。男性的YLL和YPLL比女性短(<0.001)。每例死亡的过早死亡成本为45,963.57美元(男性高出2.23倍)。在一个农村地区存在环境石棉暴露的国家,MM与高YLL、YPLL和经济负担相关。
