A Pilot Discrete Choice Experiment to Explore Preferences for EQ-5D-5L Health States

Abstract

DCEs are a feasible approach to the estimation of utility weights for more complex multi-attribute utility instruments such as the EQ-5D-5L.

Using Discrete Choice Experiments with Duration to Model EQ-5D-5L Health State Preferences

“…Other studies in this area have used similar numbers of choice sets and produced logically consistent models. [6][7][8]11 Regarding aim 2, the model estimated on the non-zero prior value design data was more inconsistent than the model estimated using the zero prior value data, with less precise coefficient estimates. To our knowledge this is the first comparison of zero and non-zero prior value designs using DCE TTO , and the findings are unexpected, since the introduction of the non-zero prior values should, in theory, improve the precision of the parameter estimates.…”

“…3 More recently, studies have explored the use of Discrete Choice Experiments incorporating duration (DCE TTO ) to estimate utility values anchored on the full health -dead scale. DCE TTO has been shown to produce logically consistent value sets for a range of descriptive systems in the UK, Canada and Australia, including the EQ-5D-3L, 6,7 the EQ-5D-5L [8][9][10] and the SF-6D. 11 For example, a methodological study based in the UK valued EQ-5D-5L online using DCE TTO with 1,799 members of the general population completing 15 DCE TTO choice sets s each (the PRET-AS study).…”

Patient-reported outcomes in cancer survivors: a population-wide cross-sectional study

“…The EQ-5D-5L is a standardised measure of health status developed by the EuroQol group [8] consisting of five domains of QoL (mobility, personal care, usual activities, pain or discomfort, and anxiety or depression). Australia-specific calculations were made according to Norman et al [9] with the nominal range of values being 0 (death) to 1 (perfect health). The EQ VAS provides a respondent's rating of their health today on a scale of 0 to 100, where 0 is the worst health the respondent can imagine and 100 is the best.…”

Clinical and Cost-Effectiveness of Therapist-Guided Internet-Delivered Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Older Adults With Symptoms of Depression: A Randomized Controlled Trial

“…The EQ-5D-5L has been shown to have good convergent validity with the World Health Organization 5-item Well Being Questionnaire (Janssen et al, 2013). EQ-5D scores were converted into utility values using an algorithm for the Australian population (Norman et al, 2013).…”
