Valuation and Modeling of EQ-5D-5L Health States Using a Hybrid Approach

Abstract

This paper shows the feasibility of using a hybrid approach to estimate a value set for EQ-5D-5L valuation data.

Do country-specific preference weights matter in the choice of mapping algorithms? The case of mapping the Diabetes-39 onto eight country-specific EQ-5D-5L value sets

“…Here, we applied the new EQ-5D-5L value sets from eight countries [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]: England, the Netherlands, Spain, Canada, Uruguay, China, Japan, and Korea. For ease of exposition, the English value set would be emphasised, though results for other countries' value sets were discussed.…”

“…A key limitation of this previous study is that it was based on an interim value set, which was a 'cross walk' between the earlier three-level 2 EQ-5D (EQ-5D-3L) and the EQ-5D-5L descriptive system [15]. Most recently, several country-specific EQ-5D-5L value sets have been published, including four Western countries (England, the Netherlands, Spain, Canada), three Asian countries (China, Japan, Korea) and one South American (Uruguay) [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Hence, the existing mapping algorithm for D-39 is becoming obsolete following the publication of these new EQ-5D-5L value sets.…”

Does the Introduction of the Ranking Task in Valuation Studies Improve Data Quality and Reduce Inconsistencies? The Case of the EQ-5D-5L

“…The use of version 1.0 of the protocol to conduct EQ-VT-based valuation studies showed several issues related to the quality of the resulting data [10,11]. The most obvious of these was a relatively high rate of logically inconsistent responses, a formal definition of which can be found in the Methods section.…”

Smoking, health-related quality of life and economic evaluation

“…The main aim of this paper is to find out whether the smoking status of the general Spanish population is associated with systematic variations in HRQoL as measured by the EQ-5D-5L valuation questionnaire instrument [7,8] once biological and clinical conditions are controlled for.…”

“…individuals representing a population of 38.6 million. The ENS2011-12 is the first ENS that contains information on the EQ-5D-5L self-report questionnaire [7,8]. (25% males and 23% females).…”
