Abstract

The possibility of weighting QALYs differently for different groups of patients has been a source of debate. Most recently, this debate has been extended to the relative value of QALYs at the end of life (EoL). The objective of this study is to provide evidence of societal preferences in relation to this topic.

Abstract

Purpose:

To contribute to the ongoing discussion on the choice of a preference-based health-related quality of life (HRQoL) instrument to be used in cost-effectiveness analysis by studying and comparing the validity, sensitivity and relative efficiency of 15-D and EuroQol 5D 5L (EQ-5D-5L) in a Spanish Parkinson’s disease (PD) population sample.

Resumen

Con frecuencia se asegura que la gestión pública de los centros sanitarios es ineficiente. A partir de esta premisa, no contrastada, se argumenta la necesidad de introducir elementos privatizadores en la gestión. En este artículo se revisa la evidencia disponible, a escala nacional e internacional, acerca de la aplicación de mecanismos de gestión privada en sistemas predominantemente públicos similares al Sistema Nacional de Salud español.

El objetivo de este trabajo es estimar los factores asociados a la no respuesta con énfasis en la Calidad de Vida Relacionada con la Salud (CVRS) empleando para ello una encuesta postal enviada cuatro meses después de la  Encuesta de Salud de Murcia-2007 que se realiza por vía telefónica.

Abstract

Because of its incidence and mortality colorectal cancer represents a serious public health issue in industrial countries. In order to reduce its social impact a number of screening strategies have been implemented, which allow an early diagnosis and treatment. These basically include faecal tests and studies that directly explore the colon and rectum.

Abstract

This paper aims to examine whether life satisfaction and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) are simultaneously related, as well as to quantify the bias that occurs if simultaneity is not accounted for. The study sample consisted of 870 respondents, representative of the Spanish adult general population.

Summary

This paper presents a new scoring algorithm for the SF-6D, one of the most popular preference-based health status measures. Previous SF-6D value sets have a minimum (a floor), which is substantially higher than the lowest value generated by the EQ-5D model. Our algorithm expands the range of SF-6D utility scores in such a way that the floor is significantly lowered.

Revealed preferences are not consistent. Many anomalies have been found in different contexts. This finding leads to a divergence between normative and descriptive analyses. There are several ways of facing this problem. In this paper we argue in favour of debiasing observed choices in such a way that the “true” preferences are discovered.

Abstract

This paper presents a novel approach to model health state valuations using inverse probability weighting techniques. Our approach makes no assumption on the distribution of health state values, accommodates covariates in a flexible way, eschews parametric assumptions on the relationship between the outcome and the covariates, allows for an undetermined amount of heterogeneity in the estimates and it formally tests and corrects for sample selection biases.
