Assessing two methods for estimating excess mortality of chronic diseases from aggregated data

OBJECTIVE: To assess the numerical properties of two recently published estimation techniques for excess mortality based on aggregated data about diabetes in Germany. RESULTS: Application of the new methods to the claims data yields implausible findings for the excess mortality of type 2 diabetes in...
