The unadjusted life tables represent the background mortality of the general population in 2001.
Relative survival is a ratio of the observed survival (overall survival) and the survival that would have been expected if the cancer patient had only experienced the normal (background) mortality of the general population in which they live [ 14].
The optimal level of virulence and the timing of transmission in this type of system depend on the background mortality of the host (Ebert and Weisser 1997) and are likely to be influenced by within host replication rate and host ecology.
Relative survival is the ratio of the observed probability of survival and the probability that would have been expected if the cancer patients had only experienced the normal (background) mortality of the general population in which they live, given the same distribution of factors such as age, sex, geographical area, calendar period and deprivation.
Testable predictions of the hypothesis include increased expression of virulence factors in isolates of the same species of the microbiome obtained from ailing/old versus healthy/young individuals, and the existence of microbial mechanisms to assess the general condition (background mortality) of the host.

Even life tables that are specific to each socioeconomic group may therefore still under-estimate the true background mortality of these men to some extent.
Hence, in scenario B, the region with the lowest background mortality was chosen as baseline for the expected survival to illustrate the effects of the regional differences in the background mortality on the numbers of deaths.
The dynamics of susceptible hosts are given by: (3) d S d t = μ N − μ S − S N ∑ k = 0 ∞ β k I k, where the first term captures births into the host population (at a per capita rate μ, equal to the background mortality rate), the second term captures background mortality of susceptible hosts, and the third term captures depletion of susceptible hosts through the transmission process.
We elected not to exclude such patients as we used the comparator group to estimate the background mortality of chronic dialysis patients, and to exclude intensive care from this would be fallacious.
If males would have had the same cancer mortality as females (but still the background mortality of males) this would instead have been 22,535 years, giving a potential gain of 945 life years.
Effective coverage can thus be estimated from published estimates of selection coefficients and the background mortality of mosquitoes.
