    Snippet: This study has some limitations. Because we did not consider diseases caused by HPV, HBV, or Helicobacter species, the total DALYs of communicable disease may have been underestimated. Another category not considered was non-communicable diseases caused by infections such as HPV-related disease or HBV-related disease.

    Document: This study has some limitations. Because we did not consider diseases caused by HPV, HBV, or Helicobacter species, the total DALYs of communicable disease may have been underestimated. Another category not considered was non-communicable diseases caused by infections such as HPV-related disease or HBV-related disease. Considering these diseases, the burden of communicable disease might be greater than in the present estimate. In other words, appropriate interventions for infection such as HPV or HBV, could reduce non-communicable diseases as well as communicable diseases. Additionally, although many previous studies have used national claims data, the accuracy of these data are questionable because they are obtained from insurance claims. Also, we didn't consider the socioeconomic variables due to limitation of data. Considering the result of this study, the DALYs per 100,000 were concentrated on vulnerable group such as children and elderly people, it is necessary to measure DALYs for communicable disease considering socioeconomic inequalities.
