Background And Objectives: Existing generic preference-based measures were all developed in Western countries. Evidence shows that the Chinese population may have different perceptions about health and health-related quality of life. This study aimed at developing a descriptive system of a new generic preference-based measure under the initiative of China Health Related Outcomes Measures (CHROME).
Methods: Qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews conducted in-person or online. Respondents were recruited from both the general public and populations with chronic diseases. Open-ended questions about the respondent's perception of general health and important aspects of health-related quality of life were asked. Probing questions based on a systematic review of existing generic preference-based measures were also used. The framework analysis was used to synthesize the qualitative data. Candidate items for the descriptive system were selected following the ISPOR and COSMIN guidelines. Expert panel review and cognitive debriefings were conducted for further revisions.
Results: Qualitative interviews were conducted among 68 respondents, with 48.5% male and a mean age of 47.8 years (range 18-81 years). In total, 1558 codes were identified and then aggregated to 31 sub-themes and corresponding six themes to inform the development of the initial version of the descriptive system. Feedback from the expert panel survey and meeting (n = 15) and the cognitive debriefing interviews (n = 30) was incorporated into the revised version of the measure. Finally, the generic version of CHROME (CHROME-G) included 12 items across six domains, namely, pain, fatigue, appetite, mobility, vision, hearing, sleeping, daily activities, depression, worry, memory, and social interactions. The descriptive system used a mix of four-level and five-level response options and a 7-day recall period.
Conclusions: The CHROME-G is the first generic preference-based measure to be developed based on the inputs from the Chinese populations.

Introduction: The pharmacological management of inflammatory arthritis often requires choices that involve trade-offs between benefits, risks and other attributes such as administration route, frequency and cost. This living systematic review aims to inform international clinical guidelines on inflammatory arthritis by creating an evidence map of patient preference studies concerning the trade-offs in pharmacological management of inflammatory arthritis.
Methods And Analysis: We will include published and peer-reviewed full-text studies in any language that quantitatively assess preferences of patients for the pharmacological management of inflammatory arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthritis and juvenile idiopathic arthritis).

Background: Identifying clusters of multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs), also known as multimorbidity, and their associated burden may facilitate the development of effective and cost-effective targeted healthcare strategies. This study aimed to identify clusters of MLTCs and their associations with long-term health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in two UK population-based cohorts.
Methods: Age-stratified clusters of MLTCs were identified at baseline in UK Biobank (n = 502,363, 54.

Background: Health-related quality of life (HRQL) is an important endpoint when evaluating the effectiveness of interventions in people living with hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA). The aim of this study was to generate domains for a new OA-specific preference-based index of HRQL in people living with hip or knee OA.
Methods: The proposed HRQL index was based on a formative measurement model.

Background: Condition-specific health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) instruments can be more responsive and sensitive to specific conditions and diseases than generic HRQoL instruments. This systematic review aims to identify the condition-specific preference-based instruments that have been used with young people and identify how preference values have been obtained for these instruments. This review will inform future researchers about the methods used to elicit utilities for condition-specific HRQoL instruments.
