<p>Dataset to accompany the publication <em>&ldquo;A new approach to Health Benefits Package design: an application of the Thanzi La Onse model in Malawi&rdquo;</em> by Margherita Molaro, Sakshi Mohan, Bingling She, Martin Chalkley, Tim Colbourn, Joseph H. Collins, Emilia Connolly, Matthew M. Graham, Eva Janou&scaron;kov&aacute;, Ines Li Lin, Gerald Manthalu, Emmanuel Mnjowe, Dominic Nkhoma, Pakwanja D. Twea, Andrew N. Phillips, Paul Revill, Asif U. Tamuri, Joseph Mfutso-Bengo, Tara Mangal, and Timothy B. Hallett.</p> <p>The Thanzi La Onse (TLO) model used to produce this data is open source and available for review and usage at<a href="https://github.com/UCL/TLOmodel"> https://github.com/UCL/TLOmodel</a>. In particular, the outputs analysed in this study can be reproduced from model tag "Molaro_et_al_2024_HBP_design" (accessible at https://github.com/UCL/TLOmodel/tags) using the scenario file src/scripts/healthsystem/impact_of_policy/scenario_impact_of_policy.py. All analysis scripts used to generate the plots in the manuscript are located in the same directory and have filenames beginning with "analysis_impact_of_policy_".</p> <p>This repository contains post-processed simulation outputs, which were generated using the script src/scripts/healthsystem/impact_of_policy/analysis_extract_data.py (available from the same tag). The data included have the following structure:</p> <p>"Draw": Represents a specific prioritisation-policy, identified by the acronyms listed in Table 1 of the publication.</p> <p>"Run": Represents a single simulation instance of a draw. Each draw was simulated 10 times, each with independent random sampling, resulting in 10 "runs" per draw.</p> <p>The data files included in this repository are:</p> <p><strong>DALYS_by_cause_with_time.csv</strong>: DALYs (as defined in the publication) incurred on a given year due to each of the causes of DALYs considered.</p> <p><strong>HSIs_requested_by_type_and_facility_level_with_time.csv</strong>: total number of requested HSIs on a given year, broken down by HSI type and the facility level at which they were requested.</p> <p><strong>HSIs_delivered_by_type_and_facility_level_with_time.csv</strong>:total number of HSIs delivered on a given year broken down by HSI type and the facility level at which they were delivered.</p> <p><strong>Population_with_time.csv</strong>:total population size on a given year.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
