Lancet, The, 1987 The QALY (quality adjusted life year) is an index developed by economists at Britain's York University to take account of quality of life factors as well as duration of survival in assessing the outcome of health care procedures or services.

Bioethics, 1992 ... We can therefore conclude that either we should go for equality; and in that case QALYs are unfair because they haven't got enough of an ageist bias. Or we should accept consequentialism; and in that case QALYs have just the right sort of ageist bias.

Health Policy, 1989
Health Policy, 10 (1988) 259-266 featured an article by Harris which argued that QALYs (quality-adjusted life years) are unjust, and that their use as a tool for distributing scarce health resources cannot be morally defended. Harris' paper is the latest in a series of articles purporting to criticise the concept and application of QALYs. However, most

PharmacoEconomics, 2011 When going 'beyond the patient', to measure QALYs for unpaid carers, a number of additional methodological considerations and value judgements must be made. While there is no theoretical reason to restrict the measurement of QALYs to patients, decisions have to be made about which carers to consider, what instruments to use and how to aggregate and ...

Multiattribute Structure for QALYs
Decision Analysis, 2004Health status is inherently a multiattribute construct. We examine multiattribute utility decompositions for the quality-adjusted life year (QALY) utility model commonly employed in medical decision and cost-effectiveness analyses. We consider several independence conditions on preference, including the classical notions of preferential independence ...

A QALY is a QALY is a QALY—or is it not?
2016This chapter looks at a theoretical framework for diversions from the assumption that all units of health gain have equal social value, and examins different ways in which welfarists and non-welfarists may call for cost per weighted QALY analyses, for efficiency-based reasons, and equity-motivated reasons.

Journal of Public Economics, 1995 Broome (Journal of Public Economics, 1993, 50, 149–167) claimed that quality-adjusted life years (Qalys) based on the ‘ti’ method are consistent with individual preferences only if life years are not discounted, and Qalys based on the ‘probability ...

The QALY is the product of life expectancy (estimated in years) and its quality over that time (estimated in utilities or QOL units). It theoretically enables direct comparison of the costs of obtaining different health outcomes through cost utility analysis (CUA).
