Total potential DALYs averted over a lifetime, and associated economic value, given successful prevention or treatment of all cases of neonatal sepsis in sub-Saharan Africa over 1 year in 2014.

Parameter	Value
Total DALYs	5.29–8.73 million
Economic burden
E=1.5	$9.93–$16.40 billion
E=1	$58.02–$95.81 billion
E=0.55	$284.12–$469.15 billion

Value ranges reflect the ranges of reported parameter values used from the literature. The economic burden is calculated using the value of a statistical life methodology under three different assumptions of income elasticity (E=1.5, E=1, E=0.55)
