Preferences-Based Performance Measurement Models
2013It is shown that the human subjective expectations for the uncertainty events can be described mathematically with the terms of the probability theory and can be inserted into the mathematical theory of von Neumann and Morgenstern. Some examples of utility functions are shown.

Preference‐Based Quality of Life Measures in People with Visual Impairment
Optometry and Vision Science, 2007The use of preference‐based measures of quality of life represents the application of principles of decision theory and welfare economics to the measurement of health‐related concepts. In this Perspective, we present the theoretical basis of preference‐based measures in the assessment of the impact of vision ...

A review of studies mapping (or cross walking) from non-preference based measures of health to generic preference-based measures [PDF]
, 2008 This paper presents a systematic review of current practice in mapping between nonpreference based measures and generic preference-based measures. It reviews the studies identified by a systematic search of the published literature and the grey literature.

Preference-Based Health Outcome Measures in Low Back Pain
Spine, 2000Preference-based health outcome measures were considered in two settings. In the clinical context, utility assessment using the VAS, TTO or SG was described. It is recognized that formal utility assessment is generally not needed in day-to-day clinical practice.

Preference-Based Quality of Life Measurement in Patients With Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy
Spine, 2004Prospective cross-sectional observational cohort study.To assess the performance of preference-based quality of life (QOL) instruments in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM).Generic health status instruments (e.g., SF-36) or disease-specific health status measures (e.g., myelopathy scales) are typically used to measure QOL in patients ...

While these measures can be useful in comparing therapies in disease specific terms, they do not incorporate outcomes which may be of interest to patients.

Development of a new preference-based instrument to measure dependency [PDF]
, 2013 This paper reports the estimation of a preference-based scoring algorithm for a new dependency health state classification system. According to this system health states are described as a combination of 6 attributes (eat, incontinence, personal care, mobility, housework and cognition/mental problems), with 3 or 4 levels each.
