If I’m reading your link right, it’s 22 years of life lost per 100,000, not per case. I could be misunderstanding.

They didn't give an average per case in this study, I arrived there by dividing the total amount of years lost by the amount of deaths (1,540/72 = 21.39).

That just happens to be close to the years lost per 100k.
