Background: The European Union (EU) faces many health-related challenges. Burden of diseases information and the resulting trends over time are essential for health planning. This paper reports estimates of disease burden in the EU and individual 27 EU countries in 2019, and compares them with those in 2010.

- This review looked at how researchers in Europe study the concept of disability-adjusted life years (DALY) for infectious diseases.
- They found 105 studies that met their criteria, with most focusing on food- and water-borne diseases.
- The number of these studies has grown, particularly from 2015 to 2022, and there's a need for better guidelines to help make results more comparable.
Background: Calculating the disease burden due to injury is complex, as it requires many methodological choices. Until now, an overview of the methodological design choices that have been made in burden of disease (BoD) studies in injury populations is not available. The aim of this systematic literature review was to identify existing injury BoD studies undertaken across Europe and to comprehensively review the methodological design choices and assumption parameters that have been made to calculate years of life lost (YLL) and years lived with disability (YLD) in these studies.
