“…The SF‐12‐derived SF‐6D health utility score was responsive and detected HRQOL improvements over time, with a theoretical plausible range from 0.315 (the worse possible health state) to 1 (full health), according to a Chinese Hong Kong population‐specific scoring algorithm . The SF‐6D utility score has been normed on the Chinese general population in Hong Kong and was used to measure utility in Chinese patients on dialysis . Available SF‐6D data serves as utility input for the estimation of the quality‐adjusted life‐year under each dialysis group in health economic evaluations.…”

HRQOL and health utility scores of patients undergoing nocturnal home haemodialysis were similar to those undergoing peritoneal dialysis and community in-centre haemodialysis. Better physical aspects of HRQOL and health utility was observed in peritoneal dialysis and community-based haemodialysis than hospital in-centre haemodialysis, providing evidence for the increase in capacity of non-hospital based haemodialysis which provided flexibility as well as patient-centredness and empowerment in Hong Kong.

“…[12] Derived from the SF-36 and SF-12, the SF-6D is also a widely used instrument in economic evaluations, [5,15,27] and previous studies have validated the SF-6D in several population groups. [24,28–30] However, the application of the SF-6D in mainland China is limited. To date, several studies have compared the EQ-5D and SF-6D in various general populations and patient groups and suggest that they are interchangeable in different target populations.…”

The EQ-5D-3L and SF-6D are the most commonly used economic evaluation instruments. Data comparing the psychometric properties of the instruments are scarce in the Chinese population. This study compared the psychometric properties of these measures in the Chinese general population in Chengdu.From October to December 2012, 2186 respondents (age ≥18) were selected from urban and rural areas of Chengdu, China, via multistage stratified cluster sampling. Correlations, scatter plots and Bland-Altman plots were used to explore the relationships between the 2 measures. Ceiling and floor effects were used to analyze the score distribution. The known-groups method was used to evaluate discriminant validity.Among 2186 respondents, 2182 completed the questionnaire, and 2178 (18–82 years old, mean 46.09 ± 17.49) met the data quality requirement. The mean scores for the EQ-5D-3LCN, EQ-5D-3LUK, and SF-6DUK were 0.95 (Std: 0.11), 0.93 (Std: 0.15), and 0.79 (Std: 0.12), respectively. The correlations between domains ranged from 0.16 to 0.51. The correlation between the EQ-5D-3LCN and SF-6DUK and between the EQ-5D-3LUK and SF-6DUK was 0.46. The scatter plots and Bland-Altman plots demonstrated poor agreement between the EQ-5D-3L and SF-6D. The floor and ceiling effects were respectively 0.05% and 74.60% for the EQ-5D-3L and 0.05% and 2.53% for the SF-6DUK. The EQ-5D-3LCN, EQ-5D-3LUK and SF-6D have good discriminant validity in different sociodemographic and health condition groups. The SF-6D has higher level of discriminant validity in moderately healthy groups in the EQ-5D-3L full-health population.Both the EQ-5D-3L and SF-6D are valid economic evaluation instruments in the Chinese general population in Chengdu but do not seem to be interchangeable. The EQ-5D-3L has a higher ceiling effect and higher level of discriminant validity among different sociodemographic groups, and the SF-6D has a lower ceiling effect and higher level of discriminant validity in health condition groups. Users may consider the evidence in the choice of these instruments.

“…It was also lower than the normative value of SF-6D measured in Hongkong population with hypertension (i.e. 0.746) [ 39 ]. Our study did not suggest the floor effect of SF-6D, which was not consistent with the study by Ferreira et al [ 40 ].…”

Purpose Hypertension is a growing public health problem in China; however, little is known about health-related quality of life (HRQoL) especially health state utility (HSU) of patients with hypertension in rural China. This study aimed to examine the HSU as measured by SF-6D and to investigate its associated factors among middle and old aged patients with hypertension in rural China. Methods Data were collected from twelve villages in Shandong Province in 2016. SF-36 was administrated to measure HRQoL of middle and old aged patients with hypertension and was got to the SF-6D values using Hong Kong’s tariff. Descriptive analyses, such as demographic characteristics, socio-economic status, and utility, were stratified by hypertension classification. Multiple linear regression models were applied to assess the associated factors of HSU. Results A total of 933 (response rate:86.4%) middle and old aged patients (69.1 ± 8.2 years) with hypertension participated in the study. 39.4% of participants were male; 44.2% had stage I hypertension; 26.4% had stage II and above. The mean score of SF-6D utility score was 0.743 (SD: 0.14, range: 0.32–1.00, median: 0.756, Interquartile range:0.634–0.859). Being female (β = −0.046), having two or more comorbidities (2 vs. 1 β = −0.066; > 3 vs. 1 β = −0.098) and the health expenditure higher than 2000 RMB (2000–3999 vs.< 2000 β = −0.042; 4000–5999 vs. < 2000 β = −0.046; > 6000 vs. < 2000 β = −0.071) were significantly associated with lower SF-6D overall score; while being farmer (β = 0.032), having high household income (10,000–14,999 vs. < 5000 β = 0.045; > 15,000 vs. < 5000 β = 0.064) and having stage I and above hypertension (stage I vs. Normotensive β = 0.047; stage II vs. Normotensive β = 0.079; stage III vs. Normotensive β = 0.095) were significantly associated with higher SF-6D overall score. Conclusion SF-6D was capable to measure quality of life middle and old aged patients with hypertension in China. And multiple factors were demonstrated to be significantly associated with quality of life.
