Description of the research topic:
Financial decision-making about new health interventions and programmes (e.g. medicines, diagnostic tests, surgical procedures) are required to be based on economic evaluations. Cost-effectiveness analysis is a form of economic evaluations in which health gain and costs of alternative health interventions are compared. Health gain is measured as quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) that combine the effects of a health intervention on length and quality of life into a single measure.
The main purpose of the proposed research is to derive health utility values using both direct and indirect methodologies from the general public and patients with various chronic diseases. We explore and compare utilities for self-experienced and hypothetical health states from patients with chronic diseases and the general public. Furthermore, we test the effect of differences in utility values on incremental cost-utility ratios in cost-effectiveness models to demonstrate whether applying a different perspective may result in more favourable or unfavourable reimbursement decisions.
