A scoping review of burden of disease studies estimating disability-adjusted life years due to Taenia solium.
Background Taenia solium is the most significant global foodborne parasite and the leading cause of preventable human epilepsy in low and middle-income countries in the form of neurocysticercosis. Objectives This scoping review aimed to examine the methodology of peer-reviewed studies that estimate...

Objectives This scoping review aimed to examine the methodology of peer-reviewed studies that estimate the burden of T. solium using disability-adjusted life years.

Studies primarily employed attributional disease models that relied on measuring the occurrence of epilepsy before applying an attributable fraction to estimate the occurrence of neurocysticercosis-associated epilepsy.
