Descripción
Different indicators epidemiologically describe a disease: incidence, remission, lethality, prevalence, duration of the disease, and mortality. Different models take into account the interrelationships between these indicators, which makes it possible to complete the description in the absence of some of them, and to achieve internal consistency in them.
In this paper some of these models are discussed, in particular the DISMODII, of the multi-state Life Tables type, and its application to epidemiological data related to diabetes. Some practical challenges are revealed that confirm the need to support these models with expert criteria and complementary information.
Key words: Epidemiological indicators, DISMOD II
