Criteria for item selection for a preference-based measure for use in economic evaluation. [PDF]
Qual Life Res, 2021 AbstractPreference-based measures allow patients to report their level of health, and the responses are then scored using preference weights from a representative general population sample for use in cost utility analysis. The development process of new preference-based measures should ensure that valid items are selected to reflect the constructs of ...

Development of DEMQOL-U and DEMQOL-PROXY-U: generation of preference-based indices from DEMQOL and DEMQOL-PROXY for use in economic evaluation [PDF]
Health Technology Assessment, 2013 Background: Dementia is one of the most common and serious disorders in later life and the economic and personal cost of caring for people with dementia is immense. There is a need to be able to evaluate interventions in dementia using cost-effectiveness

Generic preference-based measures: how economists measure health benefit
Advances in Clinical Neuroscience & Rehabilitation, 2013 Resources are always scarce, but the possible uses of these resources are limitless. This simple observation underlies much of what economists do. It leads to competing demands from different parties and requires individuals and organisations to make choices about their use of scarce resources.

A review of studies mapping (or cross walking) non-preference based measures of health to generic preference-based measures [PDF]
The European Journal of Health Economics, 2009 Clinical studies use a wide variety of health status measures to measure health related quality of life, many of which cannot be used in cost-effectiveness analysis using cost per quality adjusted life year (QALY). Mapping is one solution that is gaining popularity as it enables health state utility values to be predicted for use in cost per QALY ...

The impact of adding an extra dimension to a preference-based measure. [PDF]
Soc Sci Med, 2011 The ability to compare incremental changes in Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALYs) generated by different condition-specific preference-based measures (CSPBMs), or indeed between generic measures, is often criticised even where the valuation methods and source of values are the same.

Condition-Specific Preference-Based Measures: Benefit or Burden? [PDF]
Value in Health, 2012 Some argue that generic preference-based measures (PBMs) are not sensitive to certain disease-specific improvements. To overcome this problem, new condition-specific PBMs (CS-PBMs) are being developed, but it is not yet clear how such measures compare with existing generic PBMs.We generated CS-PBMs from three condition-specific questionnaires (Health ...

Information Retrieval Evaluation Measures Based on Preference Graphs [PDF]
, 2021 Offline evaluation for web search has used mostly graded judgments to evaluate the performance of information retrieval systems. While graded judgments suffer several known problems, preference judgments simply judge one item over another, which avoids ...

The Estimation of a Preference-Based Measure of Health From the SF-12 [PDF]
Medical Care, 2004 The SF-12 is a multidimensional generic measure of health-related quality of life. It has become widely used in clinical trials and routine outcome assessment because of its brevity and psychometric performance, but it cannot be used in economic evaluation in its current form.We sought to derive a preference-based measure of health from the SF-12 for ...

BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2018 Background A new patient-reported health measurement model has been developed to quantify descriptions of health states. Known as the multi-attribute preference response (MAPR) model, it is based on item response theory.

An Improved Collaborative Filtering Recommendation Algorithm Based on Retroactive Inhibition Theory
Applied Sciences, 2021 Collaborative filtering (CF) is the most classical and widely used recommendation algorithm, which is mainly used to predict user preferences by mining the user’s historical data.
