“…The conclusion reached was that evidence that patients assign different values to hypothetical health states than 'outsiders' is growing, compared to the 1989 review of Froberg and Kane [5]. Studies that found differences reported higher values from patients in most cases.…”

Sensitivity and perspective in the valuation of health status: whose values count?

The literature was studied on the existence of differences in valuation for hypothetical and actual health states between patients and other-rater groups. It was found that nine different study designs have been used to study this question and two of these designs were applied in a study involving dialysis patients and other rater groups. In the first study, both dialysis patients and students had to value hypothetical health states with Standard Gamble (SG) and Time Trade Off (TTO). Patients assigned higher values to hypothetical health states than students did. In the second study, dialysis patients who were being treated with four different dialysis modalities were asked to value their own health state with SG, TTO and a visual analogue scale (EQ(VAS)), and to describe their health state on the EQ-5D(profile). Several EQ-5D(index) values (health index values derived from general population samples) were calculated for the four dialysis treatment groups, based on the EQ-5D(profile). These health indexes could discriminate between treatment groups, according to clinical impressions. Treatment groups could not be differentiated based on patients' valuations of own health state. The results suggest that general population samples, using EQ-5D(index) values, may be more able to discriminate between patient groups than the patients themselves are. The implications of this finding for valuation research and policy-making are discussed.

“…With further development of quality of life research, this professional perspective was challenged and over the past two decades, the patient perspective has been a major perspective in clinically oriented research and in medical decision-making [5,8]. The rationale of the patient perspective is given by Froberg and Kane [5] as '(. .…”

“…This numeric value for a given health state is a utility. Utilities can be measured either by comparing one health-outcome state with another, using techniques such as the standard gamble [34] or time trade-off [7,35] or by administering a health-status instrument for which standard utility weights have been determined, such as the Quality of Well-Being (QWB) scale [36,37], the European Quality of Life Questionnaire EQ-5D [38] or the Health Utilities Index [39]. These different methods have not been compared directly in respiratory disease; the QWB has been used most extensively in COPD [40].…”

Survival and physiological measures alone do not represent the full experiences of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Reducing the personal and social burden of disease by improving patients9 symptoms, functional status and quality of life are also important goals.There has been a substantial increase in the use of newly developed tools that measure health status and it is important for clinicians and researchers to understand these instruments9 strengths and weaknesses in providing insight into a patient9s condition and experience.Relying only on mortality and physiological outcomes could blind a clinician to significant benefits patients may receive from a treatment. A growing body of research utilises end-points assessed directly by patients whose self-reported health status includes health-related quality of life and functional status.This article reviews major concepts and methods in health-status assessments for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which will have an important role in assessing the efficacy and effectiveness of new treatments. Eur Respir J 2003; 21: Suppl. 41, 36s-45s.

“…1 In contrast, utilities of patients who have experience with a health state might be more appropriate in clinical decision making and in certain policy decisions. 2 Whose utilities should be used is only relevant if patients and public differ. Literature dealing with this difference is somewhat controversial 3 and generally supports the supposition that patients assign higher utilities compared with members of the public.…”
