Economic evaluation of healthcare interventions usually needs accurate data on utility and health-related quality-of-life scores. The aim this study is to map QLQ-C30 scale score onto EQ-5D-5L SF-6D values in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients.EQ-5D-5L, SF-6D, were completed by 252 patients with CRC who referred three centers Tehran between May September 2017. Moreover, OLS, Tobit, CLAD models used predict values. goodness fit was evaluated using Pred R2 Adj R2. In addition, their predictive...

Background: The EuroQol five-dimensional 5 level (EQ-5D-5L) value set is not currently available for the Iranian general public, while 3 (EQ-5D-3L) available. present study aimed to generate an interim EQ-5D-5L context of Iran. Methods: was generated using crosswalk method, which maps EQ-5D-3L and responses. has previously been estimated by Time Trade-Off (TTO) method. obtained compared with measures mean, median, skewness.The analysis done STATA version 15. Results: mean median scores were...
Objective The results of recent studies have shown that using low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) for screening lung cancer (LC) improves outcomes. objective the current study was to evaluate cost-effectiveness LDCT in an Iranian high-risk population.
