Fig. 6

Three-dimensional plot of 98 diseases based on the weighted scores for the criteria groups patient-impact, society-impact and public health impact. The public health impact was here represented by the sum of ‘spreading potential’, ‘public health action required’ and the seven criteria of the criteria group ‘surveillance needs’. This plot provides insight in the priorities per health domain. Colours highlight the 3rd axes of the plot (society impact). This figure indicates that it is essential to appreciate the public health impact of diseases in parallel to the patient-level impact and the society impact of diseases
