Years lost to disutility by categories of met and unmet need. Notes: This figure displays estimates of YLD, which combines the utility data (as shown in Fig. 4) with prevalence data from the GBD for each disease and geographic area. Utility is broken into current met need, unmet need from ineffective use of technologies, unmet need from a lack of technologies, and extent to which unmet need would still exist because of comorbidities, even if the condition in question was completely eliminated
