A detailed collection of mortality estimates for diseases, disorders and external factors is publishing on June 16th in the open access journal PLOS Medicine. The study provides a resource to estimate reductions in life expectancy for a comprehensive range of disorders. The atlas will be a useful tool for clinicians, academics, and policymakers looking into links between disorders and mortality estimates, as well as for researchers studying specific diseases.
Researchers develop a comprehensive atlas of disease mortality
