Background: This study was designed to evaluate the feasibility, reliability, and validity of use of caregivers' ratings of two health preference measures as outcomes for cost-effectiveness analyses in persons with very mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Methods: Caregivers completed ratings of preference for AD patients' health by use of the EuroQol-5D system (EQ-5D) and the Health Utilities Index Mark 2 (HUI2). They also rated patients' cognition, mood, burden, AD-specific and generic health-related quality of life (QOL), and activities of daily living.
