*Buruli ulcer, mycetoma, snakebite envenoming, and yaws are not included as the Global Health Data Exchange does not include DALYs for these diseases.
aCalculated by dividing the pediatric global burden of disease (per 1,000 DALYs) by the number of pediatric trials for each NTD. To allow for representation of conditions that do not have any clinical trials, we added 1 trial to each condition.
