Espérance de vie corrigée de l'incapacitéLespérance de vie corrigée de l'incapacité (EVCI) est un mode d'évaluation du coût des maladies mesurant l'espérance de vie en bonne santé, c'est-à-dire en soustrayant à l'espérance de vie le nombre d'années « perdues » à cause de la maladie, du handicap ou d'une mort précoce. On utilise souvent l'acronyme anglais DALY (pour disability-adjusted life years), c'est-à-dire le nombre de ces années perdues, comme unité de mesure pour exprimer le résultat de ce calcul tandis que, stricto sensu, l'équivalent anglophone de l'EVCI est DALE (disability-adjusted life expectancy).
