Notes: LPLE = limiting-pain life expectancy; NLPLE = nonlimiting pain life expectancy; PFLE = pain-free life expectancy; LE = total life expected; OLS = ordinary least squares regression.

2016 estimate is significantly higher than estimates if only bolded at p < .05.

2016 estimate is significantly lower than estimates bolded and italicized at p < .05.
