Life Expectancy Project

Our research group specializes in life expectancy calculations based on standard actuarial and biostatistical procedures. We apply these scientific methods to data on children born with cerebral palsy (CP), persons in the vegetative state (VS), and to those who have suffered spinal cord (SCI) or traumatic brain (TBI) injuries. We have published extensively on life expectancy, and have consulted on life expectancy in Canada, England, Australia and the United States.Some items of general interest on life expectancy and survival:
Medical research literature on life expectancy
Details on the life table
Technical glossary
Multipliers for the discounted cost of future care. A Microsoft Excel spreadsheet is available for download:
Description of a survival curve and an integrated survival curve
Life expectancy in the U.S. general population
Especially for parents/patients
