“…20 Recent work with the "paper gamble," a self-administered paper survey version of the standard gamble, has shown a high correlation with computer-administered standard gamble results 21 and has demonstrated excellent test-retest reliability. 22 Hopefully, these developments and others will increase the feasibility of preference-based QOL assessment. 21 Collection of visual analogue scale and willingness to pay data are much simpler-visual analogue scale data can be collected via a written survey, and willingness to pay data can be collected via telephone interview or written survey.…”

Background and Purpose-Functional outcome scales are typically used to measure quality of life (QOL) and outcomes in patients with cerebral aneurysms; however, these instruments only examine a limited number of domains that contribute to QOL. An alternative are preference-based QOL methods, which integrate all factors contributing to QOL and provide a comprehensive individualized measure of how patients value their current health state. An additional advantage of preference-based QOL values is that they can be incorporated into decision analyses and cost-effectiveness analyses. Methods-We used 4 preference-based QOL methods to measure QOL in 176 outpatients with cerebral aneurysms: (1) standard gamble; (2) time trade-off; (3) visual analogue scale; and (4) willingness to pay. We measured functional status with the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS), Rankin Scale, and Barthel Index. We then built multivariate linear regression models to examine the relationships between preference-based QOL, functional status, and patient characteristics. Results-Preference-based

“…The SG technique has been shown to have adequate intrarater reliability (r=.77) (19), as well as satisfactory test-retest reliability (r=.80) (20). Computerized and paper-and-pencil versions of the SG have been validated (21,22). Participants completed a SG via computer using a format provided by Littenberg and colleagues (22).…”

Objectives This study had two objectives: to elicit preferences for current health in a sample of persons with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD ) in order to establish quality-of-life estimates for this disorder and to identify symptoms and problems that predict these estimates. Methods The authors used the standard gamble (SG), time tradeoff (TTO), and visual analog scale (VAS) methods for quality-of-life estimation at baseline among 184 individuals with chronic PTSD who were participating in a multisite clinical trial. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize quality-of-life estimates for the sample. A linear mixed-effects regression model was conducted to evaluate predictors of quality of life. Results The modal participant was a single, white female (77%). The mean±SD age of the sample was 37.31±11.33. On a scale where full health is 1.0 and death is 0.0, mean quality-of-life estimates for living with PTSD were .87±.25, .66±.28, and .64±.20 for SG, TTO, and VAS, respectively. Linear mixed-effects model regression revealed that elicitation method (SG, TTO, and VAS), arousal (a symptom of PTSD), and endorsement of anxiety or depressive symptoms were the strongest predictors of lower quality-of-life scores. Avoidance and re-experiencing of trauma were not predictive of reduced quality of life. Conclusions Significant decrements in health-related quality of life were found among persons seeking treatment for PTSD. Although arousal and anxiety and depressive symptoms were predictive of quality-of-life estimates, avoidance and re-experiencing were not. These findings identify targets for symptom resolution that may improve quality of life among persons with PTSD.
