Background. Most EQ-5D-3L valuation studies include the same sample of health states that was used in protocol original UK Measurement and Valuation Health (MVH) study. Thus far, no using a time tradeoff utility elicitation method have been carried out all 243 EQ-5D states. Because values preferences regarding outcomes differ among countries, it is essential to country-specific data enable local high-level decisions resource allocation. This study developed set for Methods. A multicentric...
