To test the feasibility of using videoconferencing (VC) administered interviews and to derive an EQ-5D-5L value set for Italy.Preferences were collected EuroQol standardized valuation protocol (EQ-VT) via VC. Two methods employed, composite time trade-off (cTTO) discrete choice experiment (DCE). Technical, organizational tested in a pilot 198 interviews. Upon positive assessment, data collection continued with target sample 1000-1200 participants including pilot. Quality control (QC)...
The utilities elicited with the composite time trade-off (cTTO) method for health states worse-than-dead (WTD) often correlate poorly other severity measures, indicating a poor sensitivity of cTTO. We aimed to explore modifications cTTO better understand this phenomenon and identify potential improvements. A total 480 respondents completed an online TTO interview, each valuing 12 EQ-5D-5L states. participants were randomized into four arms, A–D. Arm followed standard cTTO, serving as...
There is increasing interest in preference-accompanied measures of health for paediatric populations. The child-friendly EQ-5D version, EQ-5D-Y-3L, one such instrument, but the lack a Dutch value set prevents its use economic evaluations healthcare interventions Netherlands. This study aims at covering this gap by collecting preferences using standardised protocol deriving EQ-5D-Y-3L sets. Composite time trade-off data were collected videoconferencing interviews, with each respondent...
The 2016 EQ-5D-3L value set for Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) allows the calculation of EQ-5D-5L values via crosswalk algorithm. was based on methods predating EQ-VT protocol, now considered gold standard developing EQ-5D sets. Furthermore, direct elicitation is preferred over crosswalked values. This study aimed to produce an T&T.
Introduction. Health utilities are widely used in health care. The distributions of differ between countries; some countries more often report worse than dead states, while mild states valued or less the same. We hypothesize that cultural values explain these country-related utility differences. Research Question. What is effect sociodemographic background, methodological factors, and on differences utilities? Methods Analyses. Time tradeoff data from 28 EQ-5D valuation studies were...
Abstract Objective A ‘lite’ version of the EQ-5D-5L valuation protocol, which requires a smaller sample by collecting more data from each participant, was proposed and used to develop an value set for Uganda. Methods Adult respondents general Ugandan population were quota sampled based on age sex. Eligible participants asked complete 20 composite time trade-off tasks in tablet-assisted personal interviews using offline EuroQol Portable Valuation Technology software under routine quality...
Providing health-related quality of life (HRQoL) value sets to enable estimation adjusted years (QALYs) is important in facilitating economic evaluation and supporting reliable decision-making about healthcare. However, as the field matures, many across a range HRQoL instruments are now old, based on potentially outdated valuation methodologies preference data from samples that no longer represent contemporary population. Having clear strategy for identification mitigation obsolescence...
There is a growing interest in Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Morocco. A national EQ-5D-5L value set would allow for the computation of Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALYs) economic evaluations healthcare interventions to support decision-making. This study aimed develop Moroccan based on data from representative sample adult general population. adults was recruited using stratified quota sampling gender, age category, and place residence. Data were collected between November 2022...
No systematic country-level comparison has been undertaken between crosswalk- and EQ-VT-derived EQ-5D-5L value sets. Crosswalk values can differ from EQ-VT-based sets owing to valuation protocols, changes in societal preferences over time, a change the label of highest level on mobility moving EQ-5D-3L EQ-5D-5L. This study aimed compare five-level (5L) crosswalk EQ-VT explore differences them at country level. From countries with both time trade-off (TTO)- or discrete choice experiment (DCE)...
Objectives Discrete choice experiments (DCEs) as a valuation method require preferences to be anchored on the quality-adjusted life-year scale, usually through tasks involving choices between immediate death and various impaired health states or with varying durations of life. We sought determine which anchoring approach aligns best composite time tradeoff (cTTO) method, view informing protocol that uses DCEs in place cTTO. Methods A total 970 respondents from Trinidad Tobago completed DCE...
Discrete choice experiments including a duration attribute (DCEd) represent promising candidate method for valuing health-related quality-of-life instruments. However, it has not been established that DCEd can produce similar results as composite time trade-off (cTTO) or EuroQol Valuation Technology (EQ-VT) valuations of the EQ-5D-5L instrument. This study provides direct comparison between cTTO and EQ-VT, valuation methods. An EQ-VT was conducted in Trinidad Tobago to value EQ-5D-5L. 1079...
Self-reported health (SRH) is a measure widely used in research and population studies. Differences SRH have been observed between countries cultural values hypothesized to partly explain such differences. Cultural can be operationalized by two dimensions using the World Values Survey (WVS), namely traditional/rational–secular survival/self-expression dimension. We investigate whether there an association WVS SRH, both within countries. Data from 51 combined with macroeconomic data Worldbank...
No value sets exist for either the EQ-5D-3L or EQ-5D-5L in Egypt, despite local pharmacoeconomic guidelines recommending use of EQ-5D to derive utility. Most published Egyptian economic evaluation studies have used utility values from other and systematic reviews.Our objective was develop an set using international EuroQol standardized protocol (EQ-VT-2.1). This study is a revision previous Egypt retracted by authors.Adult participants were recruited public places multi-stratified quota...
Abstract Purpose The most widely used generic questionnaire to estimate the quality of life for yielding quality-adjusted years in economic evaluations is EQ-5D. Country-specific population value sets are required use EQ-5D evaluations. aim this study was establish an EQ-5D-3L set Russia. Methods A representative sample aged 18+ recruited from Russia`s general population. Computer-assisted face–to–face interviews were conducted based on standardized valuation protocol using EQ-Portable...
Methods for estimating health values in adult populations are well developed, but lag behind children. The EuroQol standard protocol to arrive at value sets the youth version of EQ-5D-Y-3L combines discrete choice experiments with ten composite time trade-off values. Whether sufficient remains be seen and this is one reasons allows experimental expansion. In study, 23 states were administered trade-off. This methodological research embedded a study aimed generating representative set...
In Belgium, a value set for children and adolescents generic health-related quality-of-life measure is not available. To inform drug pricing make resource allocation decisions adolescents, national tax-payers' preferences youth health states should be known. We aimed to obtain EQ-5D-Y-3L in following the international valuation protocol data collection. Composite Time Trade-Off interviews were conducted sample of 200 adults, either face or via video conferencing. Another 1000 adults...
EQ-5D-Y-3L health states are commonly valued by asking adults to complete stated preference tasks, 'given their views about a 10-year-old child' (hereafter referred as proxy 1). The use of this perspective has been source debate. In paper, we investigated an alternative perspective: i.e. considered what they think 10-year old-child would decide for itself (hereafter, 2 (substitute)]. Our main objective was explore how the outcomes, dispersion and response patterns composite time trade-off...
Abstract Objective To develop a value set for EQ-5D-3L based on the societal preferences of Tunisian population. Methods A representative sample general population was obtained through multistage quota sampling involving age, gender and region. Participants ( n = 327), aged above 20 years, were interviewed using EuroQol Portable Valuation Technology in face-to-face computer-assisted interviews. completed 10 composite time trade-off (cTTO) discrete choice experiments (DCE) tasks.
