Risk calculation: health

Usage

calc_health_risk(
  infectionRisk_perYear = 9.5 * 10^-4,
  infection_to_illness = 0.7,
  diseaseBurden_dalyPerCase = 1.5 * 10^-3,
  fraction_population = 1,
  target_dalyPerYearPerPerson = 1/1e+06
)

Arguments

infectionRisk_perYear

as retrieved by calc_infection_risk()$events$infectionRisk_perYear or user defined input (default: 9.5 * 10 ^ - 4 infections/year)

infection_to_illness

probability of illness given infection (default: 0.7, i.e. 70 percent illness probability giving infection)

diseaseBurden_dalyPerCase

disabled adjusted life years per case. Value depends on multiple parameters such as illness type (default: 1.5*10 ^ -3)

fraction_population

fraction of population at risk of getting the illness (default: 1, i.e. 100 percent of population can possibly get the illness, worst-case assumption assuming no prior immunization!)

target_dalyPerYearPerPerson

target disabled adjusted life years (DALY) per person per year (default: 1/1000000 DALY per per person per year, WHO standard)

Value

data frame with input parameters and calculated health risk outputs
