- Abstract
The article presents a pilot study which aims to acquire experience with the new methodological approach in Europe in 2012. Computational models were developed to approximate the burden in a standardized manner. In the approach, the incidence of infections from a particular pathogen in a special year is linked to all associated health outcomes through a disease progression or outcome tree model.
