“…Así, inversiones en la mejora de la salud de las personas se puede traducir en mejoras en el rendimiento escolar y en la productividad laboral, lo cual redundará a su vez, en mejores posibilidades personales y de mayor desarrollo económico (Grossman, 1972b(Grossman, , 2000. Por tanto, en su faceta de bien de inversión, el que una sociedad disfrute de un buen estado de salud no garantiza su progreso económico futuro pero sí es un requisito esencial para ello (Sachs, 2001;Suhrcke et al, 2006).…”

Evaluación de las pérdidas laborales provocadas enfermedades y lesiones en España en el año 2009Assessment of productivity losses due to diseases and injuries in Spain in 2009 Núm. 6 (2016) ResumenEl objetivo del trabajo es estimar las potenciales pérdidas laborales ocasionadas por enfermedades y lesiones durante el año 2009. Combinando varias fuentes de datos del Instituto Nacional de Estadística y el Instituto Nacional de la Seguridad Social, se desarrolla un modelo de simulación basado en el enfoque del capital humano para la estimación de pérdidas de producción asociadas a muertes prematuras y a situaciones de incapacidad laboral (permanente y temporal).Las pérdidas potenciales estimadas ascienden a 42.430 millones de euros, 8.073 millones de euros corresponden a pérdidas derivadas de la mortalidad prematura (19,0% sobre el total), 18.050 millones de euros corresponden a pérdidas asociadas a situaciones de Incapacidad Permanente (42,5% sobre el total) y 16.306 millones de euros a pérdidas asociadas a situaciones de Incapacidad Temporal (38,4% sobre el total). Ello supone una cifra equivalente al 3,93% del Producto Interior Bruto de España o, alternativamente, al 60,3% del gasto sanitario público total del año 2009. Por tipo de enfermedad o lesión, las enfermedades del sistema osteomuscular y del tejido conjuntivo representaron el 22,9% de las pérdidas, seguidos de las causas externas, con un 13,5%, los trastornos mentales, 10,5%, y los tumores, con un 10,4%.Palabras clave: pérdidas laborales; coste de la enfermedad; impacto laboral AbstractThe main aim of this study is to estimate the productivity losses caused by diseases and injuries occurred in Spain in 2009. Using several data sources from the National Statistics Institute and The National Institute of Social Security, a simulation model based on the human-capital approach is performed to estimate the labour losses due to premature deaths and disability (permanent and temporary).The total productivity losses are estimated to amount to 42,430 million of euros, of which 8,073 million of euros are due to the losses caused by premature deaths (19% of the total loss), 18,050 million of euros to permanent disability (42% of the total loss) and 16,306 million of euros to temporary disability (38.4% of the total loss). These figures represented 3.93% of the 2009 Gross Domestic Product of Spain, in other words, 60.3% of the total Public Health Expenditure in 2009. By type of disease or injury, diseases of musculoskeletal system and connective tissue accounted for 22.9% of the total loss, followed by external causes with 13.5%, metal disorders with 10.5% and tumors with 10.4%.

In this paper, we present a data analytics and visualization framework for health-shocks prediction based on large-scale health informatics dataset. The framework is developed using cloud computing services based on Amazon web services (AWS) integrated with geographical information systems (GIS) to facilitate big data capture, storage, index and visualization of data through smart devices for different stakeholders. In order to develop a predictive model for health-shocks, we have collected a unique data from 1000 households, in rural and remotely accessible regions of Pakistan, focusing on factors like health, social, economic, environment and accessibility to healthcare facilities. We have used the collected data to generate a predictive model of health-shock using a fuzzy rule summarization technique, which can provide stakeholders with interpretable linguistic rules to explain the causal factors affecting healthshocks. The evaluation of the proposed system in terms of the interpret-ability and accuracy of the generated data models for classifying health-shock shows promising results. The prediction accuracy of the fuzzy model based on a k-fold cross-validation of the data samples shows above 89% performance in predicting health-shocks based on the given factors.

“…While there is wide variation in life expectancy between middle-and low-income countries, there is little variation among high-income countries. As a result, more relevant indicators of health are needed to capture the different levels of health in different high-income countries (4). An example of this is cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality (18).…”
