Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the EQ-5D-5L and SF-6D, and to compare their performance among patients living with haemophilia in China.
Methods: A total of 875 Chinese patients completed the EQ-5D-5L, SF-6D, and Haem-A-QoL questionnaires. Construct validity of the EQ-5D-5L and SF-6D dimensions and indices was assessed by testing hypotheses relating these measures to Haem-A-QoL and clinical measures. The Spearman correlation coefficient was used to assess convergent validity, and one-way analysis of variance (F statistic) was used to assess the known-groups validity (discriminatory power). The agreement between EQ-5D-5L and SF-6D indices was assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and the Bland-Altman plot.
Results: Both the EQ-5D-5L and SF-6D indices showed acceptable ceiling and floor effects. As hypothesised, both EQ-5D-5L and SF-6D were significantly correlated with Haem-A-QoL (both dimensions and overall score). EQ-5D-5L and SF-6D indices as well as EQ-VAS differentiated patients are known to differ in severity of haemophilia, bleeding status, disabling levels, and comorbidity. The F statistics in the known-groups comparisons suggested that the EQ-5D-5L was slightly more discriminative than the SF-6D. ICC (0.41) and Bland-Altman plot confirmed that the agreement between the EQ-5D-5L and SF-6D indices was poor.
Conclusion: Both EQ-5D-5L and SF-6D showed satisfactory construct validity in the measurement of the HRQoL among patients with haemophilia. However, the two instruments may not be used interchangeably in this patient population due to their poor agreement and differing discriminatory power.

The influence of recall and timing of assessment on the estimation of the QALY when health fluctuates recurrently.

Bristol Dental School, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK.
Objectives: When health fluctuates recurrently estimating quality-of-life is challenging, risking over/underestimation due to measures' recall periods and timing. To inform how/when to capture quality-of-life, we compare responses using different recall periods and assessment timings.
Methods: For one 3-week chemotherapy cycle, cancer patients were randomly assigned to complete EQ-5D-5L or SF-12v2 (daily with a daily recall, and weekly with a weekly recall, and at 3-weeks with a 3-week recall); a third group completed SF-12v2 daily with a 3-week recall.
Cost-Effectiveness of an Extended-Role General Practitioner Clinic for Persistent Physical Symptoms: Results From the Multiple Symptoms Study 3 Pragmatic Randomized Controlled Trial.
Value Health
December 2024
Academic Unit of Primary Medical Care, Samuel Fox House, Northern General Hospital, Sheffield, England, UK.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of an extended-role general practitioner symptoms clinic (SC), added to usual care (UC) for patients with multiple persistent physical symptoms (sometimes known as medically unexplained symptoms).
Methods: This was a 52-week within-trial cost-utility analysis of a pragmatic multicenter randomized controlled trial comparing SC + UC (n = 178) with UC alone (n = 176), conducted from the primary perspective of the UK National Health Service and personal and social services (PSS). Base-case quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) were measured using EQ-5D-5L.
The use of health utility in cost-utility analysis: A systematic review in substance use disorders.

Richard Ivey School of Business, Western Ontario University, London N6A 3K7, Canada.
Background And Aim: We aim to identify within-trial and modelled Cost-Utility Analysis (CUA) in substance use disorders (SUD) and review the applicability assessment associated with health utility used in modelled CUA.
Study Design And Methods: We searched Medline, Embase, EconLit and the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee (PBAC) databases. A global systematic literature search was undertaken to determine the CUA of SUD interventions.
Comparing health-related quality of life and utility scores of patients undergoing hemodialysis and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis in Indonesia.

Department of Health Sciences, University of Groningen, University Medical Center Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands.
Background: Although both hemodialysis and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) are covered by national healthcare insurance, 98% of kidney failure disease patients are treated with hemodialysis. This study compared the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and utility scores of patients receiving hemodialysis and CAPD in Indonesia and determined factors associated with HRQoL and utility scores.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed using the Kidney Disease Quality of Life-36 and EQ-5D-5L instruments at six hospitals.

Objectives: We aim to compare the measurement properties of three indirect (EQ-5D-5L, PROPr, SF-6D) and one direct (time trade-off, TTO) utility assessment methods in patients with chronic skin diseases.
Methods: 120 patients with physician-diagnosed chronic skin diseases (psoriasis 39%, atopic dermatitis 27%, acne 19%) completed a cross-sectional survey. Respondents completed the EQ-5D-5L, PROMIS-29+2 and SF-36v1 questionnaires and a 10-year TTO task for own current health.
