ODI (Olmega-Disease Index)

The ODI (Omega-Disease Index) is a scientific measurement used to assess the level of disease presence or activity within a specific population or sample. It quantifies how widespread or severe a disease is by analyzing various indicators, such as symptoms, biomarkers, or infection rates. Think of it as a score that summarizes the overall disease burden, helping researchers and healthcare professionals understand the impact and monitor changes over time. This index aids in making informed decisions about prevention, treatment, and resource allocation by providing a clear picture of disease prevalence and severity.
