“…From this point of view the results from the present study contrast to the other which confi rmed close relation between DLQI indices and WTP for cure of skin diseases. 15,16 In spite of the chi square statistics we see another interesting trend -the severity of illness is associated with lower income groups (Fig. 1).…”

Background:Psoriasis vulgaris (PsV) is a chronic skin condition that has a major impact on health-related quality of life (HRQOL).Aim:To determine the individual burden of PsV on HRQOL using willingness to pay (WTP) instrument.Materials and methods:Fifty-one consecutive PsV patients were asked to evaluate their overall health and psoriasis affected health by visual analogue scale (VAS), and interviewed on 8 domains (physical, emotional, sleep, work, social, self-care, intimacy, and concentration) of HRQOL and WTP for a hypothetical cure in each domain. Two additional questions proposing 6 alternatives for therapy were also asked. The analysis is performed with descriptive and frequency statistics, Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests.Results:The domains ranked highly were: physical comfort (90%), social comfort (77%), emotional health (75%) and work (53%). The following tendencies concerning WTP for top four impacted domains were found: the median WTP were the highest in the top impacted domains; the younger patients were willing to pay more than the older ones; the highest median WTP amounts appear in the lowest income group; the highest median WTP is associated with smaller psoriasis affected health VAS scores. The largest proportion and number of patients (37.3%, n=19) stated preferences for the systemic therapy. The second preferred choice was the thalassotherapy (29.4%, n=15).Conclusions:The utility and reliability of the instrument based on the assessment of WTP stated preferences for 8 domains of HRQOL for evaluation the individual burden of psoriasis were strongly supported.

“…The ability of respondents to accept a CV questioning in a context of high health benefits had already been partially investigated in the literature. A dozen studies had conducted WTP questioning on health programs with major consequences either on psychical or physical well-being of respondents' quality of life or on their life expectancy (e.g., recently Geelhoed et al, 2009;Radtke et al, 2009;Iskedjian et al, 2009;Saulo et al, 2008;Chuck et al, 2008;Lacour et al, 2008;Khanna et al, 2008;Bishai et al, 2008).…”

The Information Content of the WTP-WTA Gap: An Empirical Analysis Among Severely Ill Patients

et al. 2012

Abstract:Large disparities between willingness to pay (WTP) and willingness-to-accept (WTA) are commonly encountered in empirical studies and raise some important controversies. Nevertheless, the relationships between WTA and WTP can help understand not only how a service is valued but also how it can be substituted or how its loss can be resisted. The purpose of this study was to examine cancer patients' preferences for blood transfusion setting from the perspective of WTA and WTP. A contingent valuation (CV) survey was administered to 139 patients receiving transfusions either at home or in the hospital. While few patients (6%) gave WTP protest responses, the WTA approach generated more protest responses (18%). The WTA-WTP discrepancy was confirmed. One in four of the patients reported that no amount was deemed sufficient to compensate for the renunciation of their home BT management. The main determinants of WTP were significantly different from WTA predictors. Our results suggest that individuals' strategies towards constructing WTP and WTA differ in terms of determinants, reasoning, use of information and economic rationality. They give empirical evidence on the usefulness to elicit both WTP and WTA responses in healthsurveys to help understand the economic evaluation of health technology assessment and care organization.

“…The scores range from 0 to 30 (0-1: no effect on patient's life, 2-5: small effect, 6-10: moderate effect, 11-20: very large effect, 21-30: extremely large effect). The score in most studies represents a moderate impact of vitiligo on quality of life (6-10) (Dolatshahi et al, 2008, Kostopoulou et al, 2009, Mechri et al, 2006, Ongenae et al, 2005a, Radtke et al, 2009. The highest mean DLQI value was observed in the patient group aged 20-29 years (Radtke et al, 2009).…”

“…A significant correlation was noted between quality of life scores and depression as well as anxiety scores, respectively (Mechri et al, 2006). DLQI scores do tend to be lower for vitiligo patients than for psoriasis patients (Ongenae et al, 2005b, Radtke et al, 2009, as vitiligo patients seem to exhibit better adjustment to their disease and experience less social discrimination than do psoriasis patients, however, the two groups do not differ on overall self-esteem scores (Porter et al, 1986). Studies using Skindex-29 (SD-29, a dermatologic HRQoL instrument) to evaluate the quality of life revealed that patients with vitiligo were highly affected in both the functional and emotional aspects of QOL, with some sex differences ).…”
