Answer: The quality- adjusted life year

Explanation:

What is the quality - adjusted life year?

This is a measure of problems caused by diseases which includes the quality and quantity of life lived.

It used to economically predict how much money is used in medical issues.

One QALY measures a single perfect year of health and what benefits have been achieved health wise.

Health is defined as a function of two elements:a) The length of life and quality of life which are put together to come up with one figure.

When working with chronic diseases this is used to measure how many years a person obtains through using treatment so how successful the treatment has been on an individual and how that has impacted their life span.
