Considerable Heterogeneity

Abstract Objectives EQ-5D-Y-3L health states are valued by adults taking the perspective of a 10-year-old child. Compared to valuation of adult EQ-5D instruments, this entails two changes to the perspective: (i) child health states are valued instead of adult health states and: (ii) health states are valued for someone else instead of for oneself. Although earlier work has shown that these combined changes yield different values for child and adult health states that are otherwise equal, it currently remains unclear why. Hence, we aimed to disentangle the effects of both changes. Methods A sample of 205 students (mean age: 19.48) was surveyed. Each respondent completed visual analogue scale (VAS) and time trade-off (TTO) tasks for five EQ-5D-Y-3L states, using four randomly ordered perspectives: (i) self-adult (themselves), (ii) other-adult (someone their age), (iii) self-child (themselves as a 10-year-old), (iv) other-child (a child of 10 years old). We compared how each perspective impacted outcomes, precision and quality of EQ-5D-Y-3L valuation. Results Overall, differences between perspectives were consistent, with their direction being dependent on the health states and respondents. For VAS, the effect on outcomes of valuation depended on severity, but variance was higher in valuation with child perspectives. For TTO, we observed that EQ-5D-Y-3L states valued on behalf of others (i.e., children or adults) received higher valuations, but lower variances. Conclusion The use of a different perspective appears to yield systematic differences in EQ-5D-Y-3L valuation, with considerable heterogeneity between health states and respondents. This may explain mixed findings in earlier work.

Tunnel Syndrome

Health utility is a quantitative global measure of patients’ health status. This retrospective cohort study aimed to compare health utilities of patients with mild to moderate versus severe carpal tunnel syndrome and determine inter-instrumental agreement. Health utilities of 29 patients with varying severity of carpal tunnel syndrome were measured indirectly by Short-Form Sixth Dimension and EuroQol 5D questionnaire and directly by Chained Standard Gamble and a visual analogue scale. Health utility was 0.69 for Short-Form Sixth Dimension, 0.78 for EuroQol 5D Questionnaire, 0.98 for Chained Standard Gamble, and 0.76 for the visual analogue scale. There was a significant inter-instrumental agreement between three of the instruments, but not the Chained Standard Gamble. The difference in health utilities between patients with mild or moderate versus severe carpal tunnel syndrome was significant only for the EuroQol 5D questionnaire. We conclude based on our results that there are no clear indications on how health utilities can be integrated into decision analysis models and economic evaluation regarding carpal tunnel syndrome of various severities .

Abstract Background Examine whether the use of different ages has an impact on the valuation of EQ-5D-Y health states for a hypothetical child or adolescent. Methods A survey was administered during regular classes among a convenience sample of university students in the Netherlands. Respondents first valued 6 EQ-5D-Y health states (2 mild, 2 moderate, 2 severe) describing a hypothetical child/adolescent of a certain age on a visual analogue scale (VAS). After 1 h respondents valued the same six health states again but this time the age of the child was different. Age differed between 4, 10 and 16 year old. Results Number of respondents was 311. No significant differences in valuation of the six health states were found between the age of 10 and 16. One moderate health state was valued significantly better for a 4-year old compared to a 10 and a 16 year old. The same applied for one severe health state that was valued higher for a 4-year old compared to a 16-year old. Conclusion Our study shows that, except for one moderate and one severe health state, other EQ-5D-Y health states were not valued significantly different when description of age differed. It is possible that problems in specific health domains are considered more severe for older children/adolescents compared to younger children who might still be dependent on their caregivers. Future research should examine whether our findings are also present in a broader set of EQ-5D-Y health states, with a choice-based method like TTO or DCE, and a more heterogeneous sample.

Health preferences have not previously been investigated among patients with tuberculous infection or disease. The authors assessed the reliability of visual analogue scale (VAS) and standard gamble (SG) measurements in this patient population. Participants were interviewed 3 times in English or French, at weekly intervals. They evaluated their own health status, as well as 3 marker health states, derived by consensus among tuberculosis (TB) practitioners. For the VAS, health states were assigned a duration of 6 months, whereas for the SG, the duration was 10 years. One hundred eighty-six potentially eligible individuals were identified from the TB clinic database of the Montreal Chest Institute. One hundred twelve (60%) were successfully located; of these, 106 were confirmed eligible. Sixty-seven (63%) agreed to participate, and 50 completed all study measurements (25 treated for latent TB, 17 treated for active TB, and 8 with previous active TB); 38 out of 50 were foreign-born. Intraclass correlation coefficients for the marker states were 0.57 to 0.81 for the VAS, and 0.75 to 0.87 for the SG. For respondents’ own health, the coefficients were 0.60 and 0.87, respectively. Median VAS scores for respondents’ own health were 85.0 to 88.0 for the 3 interviews, whereas the median utility score was 97.5 for all 3. Administration of the visual analogue scale and standard gamble instruments appeared reliable in a selected group of tuberculosis patients. Major barriers to recruitment were language and mobility in this largely foreign-born population.
