Departures from health universalism? A value set of AP-7D in Japan as an attempt to develop a “culture-specific” preference-based measure
Health universalists believe that preference-based measure (PBM) instruments can be applied across cultures because they share similar health concepts in the world. This is the prevailing policy in PBM development. However, health pluralists refute this idea, as they argue that the concept and components of health differ depending on culture. To incorporate the pluralist view, we developed the Asian Preference-Based Measure-7 Dimensions (AP-7D), …
Understanding decision-making strategies in discrete choice experiment tasks when valuing health states that include duration, a cognitive interview study with Australian adults
This study examined how participants engage with Discrete Choice Experiments (DCE) with duration tasks for valuing health states, including time preferences, and consideration of interactions between health and duration attributes. It also examined how task layout, colour, and language, particularly how dying is described, influenced decision-making. Twenty-one adults undertook online cognitive interviews while completing DCE tasks. Tasks involve…
Health state utilities associated with invasive pneumococcal disease, pneumonia, and recurrent acute otitis media in young children
Lower health state utilities were associated with health states that had longer treatment periods, required more invasive treatment, and described more severe infections. Utilities from this study can be used in models examining cost-effectiveness of pneumococcal vaccines. These results have methodological implications for future research estimating utilities associated with temporary pediatric health conditions
Valuation survey for SF-6Dv2 in Japan based on the international protocol
We obtained a value set for Japan (model 5). With the development of this value set, it is now possible to calculate quality-adjusted life years for economic evaluation in Japan when the SF-6Dv2 has been used
Understanding UK public views on normative decisions made to value health-related quality of life in children
Developing methodology for measuring and valuing child health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is a priority for health technology agencies. One aspect of this is normative decisions that are made in child HRQoL valuation. This qualitative study aimed to better understand adult public opinion on the normative questions of whose preferences to elicit (adults, children, or both) and from which perspective (who should be imagined living in impaired h…
Measuring the overall performance of mental healthcare providers
To date there have been no attempts to construct composite measures of healthcare provider performance which reflect preferences for health and non-health benefits, as well as costs. Health and non-health benefits matter to patients, healthcare providers and the general public. We develop a novel provider performance measurement framework that combines health gain, non-health benefit, and cost and illustrate it with an application to 54 English m…
Who should value children's health and how? An international Delphi study
Valuing child health necessitates normative methodological decisions on whose preferences should be elicited and who should be imagined as experiencing impaired health. Formal guidance is limited and expert consensus unclear. This study sought to establish the degree of consensus among expert stakeholders on normative issues of who to ask and who should be imagined when valuing child health (7-17 years) to inform UK health technology assessment. …
Randomised comparison of online interviews versus face-to-face interviews to value health states
Administrating interviews face to face or online did not appear to have a statistically significant impact on mean cTTO values. Offering both online and face-to-face interviews routinely allows all participants to select the most convenient option
Hypothetical versus experienced health state valuation
Objectives Responses from hypothetical and experienced valuation tasks of health-related quality of life differ, yet there is limited understanding of why these differences exist, what members of the public think about them, and acceptable resolutions. This study explores public understanding of, opinions on, and potential solutions to differences between hypothetical versus experienced responses, in the context of allocating health resources. Me…
Developing an Australian utility value set for MacNew-7D health states
Assessing the comparative feasibility, acceptability and equivalence of videoconference interviews and face-to-face interviews using the time trade-off technique
Valuing quality in mental healthcare
High and sustained healthcare quality is important worldwide, though health policy may prioritise the achievement of certain aspects of quality over others. This study determines the relative importance of different aspects of mental healthcare quality to different stakeholders by eliciting preferences in a UK sample using a discrete choice experiment (DCE). DCE attributes were generated using triangulation between policy documents and mental hea…

Examining the Feasibility and Acceptability of Valuing the Arabic Version of SF-6D in a Lebanese Population
Objectives: The SF-6D is a preference-based measure of health developed to generate utility values from the SF-36. The aim of this pilot study was to examine the feasibility and acceptability of using the standard gamble (SG) technique to generate preference-based values for the Arabic version of SF-6D in a Lebanese population. Methods: The SF-6D was translated into Arabic using forward and backward translations. Forty-nine states defined by the …
Developing a New Version of the SF-6D Health State Classification System From the SF-36v2
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to develop the classification system for version of the SF-6D (SF-6Dv2) from the SF-36v2. SF-6Dv2 is an improved version of SF-6D, one of the most widely used generic measures of health for the calculation of quality-adjusted life years. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: A 3-step process was undertaken to generate a new classification system: (1) factor analysis to establish dimensionality; (2) Rasch analysis to…
Qlu-C10d
Condition-specific or generic preference-based measures in oncology? A comparison of the EORTC-8D and the EQ-5D-3L
When comparing a generic and condition-specific preference-based instrument, divergences are apparent in both baseline health state values and in the estimated QALYs over time for cancer patients. The variability in sensitivity between the baseline values and the QALY estimations means researchers and decision makers are advised to be cautious if using the instruments interchangeably
Using a discrete choice experiment to value the QLU-C10D
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…
