QALE

This project uses data from the National Health Interview Survey, the Medical Expenditures Panel Survey, and the National Death Index to estimate quality-adjusted life expectancy for the US population with a 10 year time horizon. Analyses are complete and manuscripts are currently under review.


The general population QALE calculator shown at the 2017 SMDM annual meeting is here.

An updated to this general population QALE Excel calculator, including subgroup analyses for non-Hispanic Whites, non-Hispanic Blacks, and Hispanics, is here.


A general population QALE Excel calculator including 10 common chronic conditions is here.


An online calculator to generate Bayesian posterior estimates for the calculators above (general population, non-Hispanic Whites, non-Hispanic Blacks, and Hispanics) with or without 10 common chronic conditions is here.
