“…For screening disutility, almost half of the economic evaluations (29,48,51,54,56,58,60,63,65,66,68,73,74,78,84) used expert VAS utilities derived from a second study in the Netherlands (32), but only three economic evaluations (51,54,73) considered the generalisability of the expert sample to the general population in the model to which this was applied. Other economic evaluations made their own adjustments to local population EQ-5D or SF-6D data (47,49,50,59,69,79,81) applied to reflect this uncertainty in more than half of the economic evaluations, which may bias results (QALYs) toward more frequent screening (29,49,52,54,59).…”
