Résumé

This study introduces a novel method for estimating the variance of life expectancy since diagnosis (LE To illustrate the approach, we estimated LE By accounting for the uncertainty of expected mortality rates, the proposed method ensures more accurate estimates of variances and, therefore, confidence intervals of LE The method can be implemented using existing software, making it accessible for use in various cancer studies. The provided example of Stata code further facilitates its adoption.
