PURPOSE: To investigate the systematic differences in the self-reporting and valuation of overall health and, in particular, pain/discomfort between three countries (England/UK, Japan, and Spain) on the EQ-5D. METHODS: ...
Valuing EQ-5D-5L health states 'in context' using a discrete choice experiment.
(2018-05)
BACKGROUND: In health state valuation studies, health states are typically presented as a series of sentences, each describing a health dimension and severity 'level'. Differences in the severity levels can be subtle, and ...
Quantifying the economic impact of government and charity funding of medical research on private research and development funding in the United Kingdom.
(2016-02-24)
BACKGROUND: Government- and charity-funded medical research and private sector research and development (R&D) are widely held to be complements. The only attempts to measure this complementarity so far have used data from ...
New methods for modelling EQ-5D-5L value sets: An application to English data.
(2018-01)
Value sets for the EQ-5D-5L are required to facilitate its use in estimating quality-adjusted life years. An international protocol has been developed to guide the collection of stated preference data for this purpose and ...
Comparing the UK EQ-5D-3L and English EQ-5D-5L Value Sets.
