“…Additionally, we reviewed all published NICE HST evaluations completed by February 2020 ( n = 12) and found that in half of the cases, EQ-5D data were collected in the trials or available from the literature [ 22 ]. Other generic measures, such as the SF-36 or HUI3, were used in a quarter of cases.…”

“…Reviewing the published HST evaluations showed that vignettes are often used (33%), but the methods employed to value them varied, and raised concerns among the committee in some instances. Vignettes were more often scored by the clinicians than general public or people with the condition [ 22 ].…”

Capturing what matters: updating NICE methods guidance on measuring and valuing health

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In July 2019, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) initiated a major review of its health technology evaluation methods to update its methods guide. This update has recently concluded with the publication of its health technology evaluation manual in January 2022. This paper reports the methods and findings of the review in relation to the recommended approach to use for the measurement and valuation of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in submissions to NICE. Issues related to (i) the methods to use when NICE’s preferred measure (EQ-5D) is not appropriate or not available; (ii) adjusting health state utility values over time to account for age; (iii) measuring and valuing HRQoL in children and young people; and (iv) including carers’ QoL in economic evaluations were included in this review. This commentary summarises the methods used to undertake the review, its findings, and the changes to NICE methods that were proposed based on these findings. It also outlines topics where further research is needed before definitive methods guidance can be issued. The broad proposals described here were subject to a public consultation in 2020 and a further consultation on the updated methods guidance was completed in October 2021 before the publication of the manual in January 2022.
