Value Set for the EQ-5D-Y-3L in Hungary.

Background: The Hungarian health technology assessment guidelines recommend the use of the EuroQol instrument family in quality-adjusted life-year calculations. However, no national value set exists for the EQ-5D-Y-3L or any other youth-specific instrument.

Objective: This study aims to develop a national value set of the EQ-5D-Y-3L for Hungary based on preferences of the general adult population.

Assessment of health state utilities in dermatology: an experimental time trade-off value set for the dermatology life quality index.

Background: Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) scores are used in many countries as access and reimbursement criteria for costly dermatological treatments. In this study we examined how time trade-off (TTO) utility valuations made by individuals from the general population are related to combinations of DLQI severity levels characterizing dermatologically relevant health states, with the ultimate purpose of developing a value set for the DLQI.

Methods: We used data from an online cross-sectional survey conducted in Hungary in 2020 (n = 842 after sample exclusions).

An idiographic approach to Idiopathic Environmental Intolerance attributed to Electromagnetic Fields (IEI-EMF) Part II. Ecological momentary assessment of three individuals with severe IEI-EMF.

IEI-EMF refers to a self-reported sensitivity characterized by attribution of non-specific physical symptoms to exposure to weak EMFs. The majority of empirical results do not support the existence of a causal relationship between EMF and IEI-EMF. However, this conclusion was drawn from environmental and experimental studies that are not without methodological limitations.

Parallel Valuation of the EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D-5L by Time Trade-Off in Hungary.

Objectives: The wording of the Hungarian EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D-5L descriptive systems differ a great deal. This study aimed to (1) develop EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D-5L value sets for Hungary from a common sample, and (2) compare how level wording affected valuations.

Methods: In 2018 to 2019, 1000 respondents, representative of the Hungarian general population, completed composite time trade-off tasks.

Did You Get What You Wanted? Patient Satisfaction and Congruence Between Preferred and Perceived Roles in Medical Decision Making in a Hungarian National Survey.

Objectives: In a growing number of countries, patient involvement in medical decisions is considered a cornerstone of broader health policy agendas. This study seeks to explore public preferences for and experiences with participation in treatment decisions in Hungary.

Methods: A nationally representative online panel survey was conducted in 2019.
