Unraveling the future productivity burden of cardiovascular disease in Qatar: Investigating the modifiable risk factors control in type 2 diabetes by Abushanab, Dina

“…The financial value of PALYs was determined based on the gross domestic product (GDP) per full-time worker (i.e. US$80,573). The base-case model estimated the productivity burden of CVD, and interventional scenarios were simulated to assess potential gains resulting from improved control of modifiable risk factors, including reduced incidence of T2D, lower systolic blood pressure (SBP), decreased number of smokers, and reduced total cholesterol. …”
