A New Value System for Graduating Potential Life Lost

潛在生命損失之新評價系統

摘要


「潛在生命損失年數」是一個常用的健康狀態指標。雖然它似乎能夠以社會經濟的層面探討死亡的影響,但是在決定生命損失的年齡上限時常有困惑及爭議。本文提出一個計算生命損失的新方法,此方法乃依據生命表計算,同時考慮競爭死因的影響;它同時有「內部標準化」的性質,因而沒有選擇年齡上限的困擾。作者以臺灣衛生統計資料為例,進行示範。

並列摘要


The 'years of potential life lost' (YPLL) is a health status indicator in widespread use. Although it appears to quantify elegantly the impact of death from socioeconomic perspective, difficulties may arrive in determining suitable age limits for its calculation. In this paper, the author proposes an internally standardized value system for graduating potential life lost. The resulting years-lost index is termed 'years of regrettable life lost' (YRLL). The YRLL is based on a life table, which also takes into account the effect of competing death. The author uses vital statistics in Taiwan for demonstration.
