Background There are a lack of reliable data on the epidemiology and associated burden and costs of asthma. We sought to provide the first UK-wide estimates of the epidemiology, healthcare utilisation and costs of asthma. Methods We obtained and analysed asthma-relevant data from 27 datasets: these comprised national health surveys for 2010–11, and routine administrative, health and social care datasets for 2011–12; 2011–12 costs were estimated in pounds sterling using economic modelling. Results The prevalence of asthma depended on the definition and data source used. The UK lifetime prevalence of patient-reported symptoms suggestive of asthma was 29.5 % (95 % CI, 27.7–31.3; n = 18.5 million (m) people) and 15.6 % (14.3–16.9, n = 9.8 m) for patient-reported clinician-diagnosed asthma. The annual prevalence of patient-reported clinician-diagnosed-and-treated asthma was 9.6 % (8.9–10.3, n = 6.0 m) and of clinician-reported, diagnosed-and-treated asthma 5.7 % (5.7–5.7; n = 3.6 m). Asthma resulted in at least 6.3 m primary care consultations, 93,000 hospital in-patient episodes, 1800 intensive-care unit episodes and 36,800 disability living allowance claims. The costs of asthma were estimated at least £1.1 billion: 74 % of these costs were for provision of primary care services (60 % prescribing, 14 % consultations), 13 % for disability claims, and 12 % for hospital care. There were 1160 asthma deaths. Conclusions Asthma is very common and is responsible for considerable morbidity, healthcare utilisation and financial costs to the UK public sector. Greater policy focus on primary care provision is needed to reduce the risk of asthma exacerbations, hospitalisations and deaths, and reduce costs.

- Abstract
Measuring disease and injury burden in populations requires a composite metric that captures both premature mortality and the prevalence and severity of ill-health. The 1990 Global Burden of Disease study proposed disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) to measure disease burden. No comprehensive update of disease burden worldwide incorporating a systematic reassessment of disease and injury-specific epidemiology has been done since the 1990 study. We aimed to calculate disease burden worldwide and for 21 regions for 1990, 2005, and 2010 with methods to enable meaningful comparisons over time.

- Abstract
Non-fatal health outcomes from diseases and injuries are a crucial consideration in the promotion and monitoring of individual and population health. The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) studies done in 1990 and 2000 have been the only studies to quantify non-fatal health outcomes across an exhaustive set of disorders at the global and regional level. Neither effort quantified uncertainty in prevalence or years lived with disability (YLDs).

7. Month of birth as an independent variable in the sudden infant death syndrome

- Abstract
Well‐known epidemiological features of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) are age at death and the increased numbers in winter. There are more SIDS deaths in late autumn/early winter and there is a seasonal rhythm of births with a peak in late summer and early autumn. The data set was 14 033 SIDS deaths from Scotland, England and Wales over the 11 years 1982–92. Using log‐linear models, which accounted for age at death and month of death, birth month was found to be a statistically significant risk factor for SIDS independent of age at death and winter environment (P<0.001). Although winter season had the largest effect (relative risk 2.7 in January compared with August), the independent effect of birth month was of clinical as well as statistical significance with a relative risk for August births of 1.37 compared with those born in April. The analysis of each birth month cohort revealed a change in age distribution with infants born in early winter (December) dying at a younger age (mean 108 days) than those born in midsummer (June) (mean 146 days). Although winter season and age are the most influential factors, the substantial effect of month of birth requires explanation and points to as yet unidentified environmental influences during pregnancy.
