Valuing health at the end of life
Valuing health at the end of life
A source of debate in the field of health care priority setting is whether health gains should be weighted differently for different groups of patients. The debate has recently focused on the relative value of life extensions for patients with short life expectancy. However, few studies have examined empirically whether society is prepared to fund life-extending end-of-life treatments that would not meet the reimbursement criteria used for other …
Testing a discrete choice experiment including duration to value health states for large descriptive systems
There is interest in the use of discrete choice experiments that include a duration attribute (DCETTO) to generate health utility values, but questions remain on its feasibility in large health state descriptive systems. This study examines the stability of DCETTO to estimate health utility values from the five-level EQ-5D, an instrument with depicts 3125 different health states. Between January and March 2011, we administered 120 DCETTO tasks ba…
Estimating the critical and sensitive periods of investment in early childhood
Using mixed methods research to explore the effect of an adaptation exercise on general population valuations of health states
The impact of adding an extra dimension to a preference-based measure
The ability to compare incremental changes in Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALYs) generated by different condition-specific preference-based measures (CSPBMs), or indeed between generic measures, is often criticised even where the valuation methods and source of values are the same. A key concern is the impact of excluding key dimensions from a descriptive system. This study examines the impact of adding a generic pain/discomfort dimension to a C…
Understanding the effect of disease adaptation information on general population values for hypothetical health states
A review of studies mapping (or cross walking) non-preference based measures of health to generic preference-based measures
CHAPTER 22 Social Choice in Health and Health Care
A large part of health economics concerns the methodology of informing the best way to allocate health‐care resources at the social level, and the actual delivery of such information. One typical analytical approach is called the cost per QALY analysis, where health gains are quantified in terms of QALYs (Quality-Adjusted Life-Years). The QALY is a composite measure of the duration of survival and the health‐related quality of life associated wit…
The first stage of developing preference-based measures
Towards a Preference-Based Measure of the Impact on Well-Being Due to Victimisation and the Fear of Crime
If the resources devoted to dealing with crime are to be used in ways that bring about the most benefits, it will be important to know something about how much better or worse one crime is compared to another. Ideally, one would like to describe the effects of all crimes — and possibly even the fear of crime as well — in terms of their effect on key elements of a person's life, such as her mental health and the degree to which she feels vulnerabl…
Do NHS clinicians and members of the public share the same views about reducing inequalities in health
Qaly maximisation and people's preferences
In cost‐utility analysis, the numbers of quality‐adjusted life years (QALYs) gained are aggregated according to the sum‐ranking (or QALY maximisation) rule. This requires that the social value from health improvements is a simple product of gains in quality of life, length of life and the number of persons treated. The results from a systematic review of the literature suggest that QALY maximisation is descriptively flawed. Rather than being line…
Estimating the Intangible Victim Costs of Violent Crime
Current estimates of the intangible costs of violent crime, such as the pain, grief and suffering experienced by victims, are not very robust. This paper sets out the different methods that can be used to provide more defensible cost estimates, and that use data that are currently available. One of these methods involves estimating the number of quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) that victims of crime lose. The estimates suggest that rape result…
A comparison of the EQ‐5D and SF‐6D across seven patient groups
As the number of preference‐based instruments grows, it becomes increasingly important to compare different preference‐based measures of health in order to inform an important debate on the choice of instrument. This paper presents a comparison of two of them, the EQ‐5D and the SF‐6D (recently developed from the SF‐36) across seven patient/population groups (chronic obstructive airways disease, osteoarthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, lower back…
