Recently, we have shown that the age-specific prevalence of a disease can be related to the transition rates in the illness-death model via a partial differential equation (PDE). In case of a chronic disease, we show that the PDE can be used to estimate excess mortality from prevalence and incidence. Applicability of the new method is demonstrated in a simulation and claims data about diabetes in German men.
