  • * ex(all cause) is the standard all cause life expectancy as published in the census data.9 ex(l) is the longer life expectancy attributable to the modality’s health benefit. ex(s) is the shorter life expectancy predicted for those not exposed to the modality’s health benefit. ex(g) is the years of life gained attributable to the specific modality. $/ex(g) is the raw cost per life year gained through exposure to the specific modality. Rows for ages 20, 40, and 70 are emphasized for ease of comparison.
