Hi Zeke, I would have liked to do a more detailed analysis of impact, but QALY/WALYs are not my expertise, and I would have made many mistakes. This analysis would be very valuable, both for the narrow scope (Crohn’s disease), and the full potential scope of the project (the other diseases shown in bold). Crohn’s affects young adults for life. Total worldwide prevalence is not know precisely due to poor monitoring in many countries. Many studies report Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis prevalence combined.
