[QALYS or not QALYS: that is the question?].
Revue d'epidemiologie et de sante publique, 1996The article discusses the proposal of some health economists to use the "cost per QALY (quality-adjusted-life year)" ratio as an universal indicator for economic assessment of medical interventions, in the so-called "cost-utility" analyses. Authors argue that QALYs are not a straightforward application of expected utility theory, which is the standard ...

Abstract A willingness to pay (WTP) per quality‐adjusted‐life year (QALY) of DKK 88 was estimated on the basis of elicited preferences for health states. The WTP per QALY estimate presented here differs considerably from that implied in contingent valuation studies, suggesting that WTP for reducing risk of death ...

Is a QALY still a QALY at the end of life?
Journal of Health Economics, 2012Recent research into end of life and palliative care has focused on the development of a replacement for the quality adjusted life year (QALY) as an outcome measure. Reasons given range from the lack of anticipated survival benefit from treatment to the inappropriateness of death as an anchor for valuing health states, or the increased value of time to

AbstractQuality‐adjusted life‐years (QALYs) calculated from time tradeoff (TTO) based preferences have a time preference component. To impose a conventional discount rate on these implicitly discounted QALYs introduces some degree of double discounting.

QALYs and the capability approach
Health Economics, 2005AbstractThis explores the applicability of Sen's capability approach to the economic evaluation of health care programmes. An individual's ‘capability set’ describes his freedom to choose valuable activities and states of being (‘functionings’). Direct estimation and valuation of capability sets is not feasible at present.

Assumptions of the QALY procedure
Social Science & Medicine, 1989The Quality Adjusted Life Year (QALY) has been proposed as a useful index for those managing the provision of health care because it enables the decision-maker to compare the 'value' of different health care programmes and in a way which, potentially at least, reflects social preferences about the appropriate pattern of provision.

THE QUALITY-ADJUSTED LIFE-YEAR (QALY) HAS COME under fire lately. In the United States, health reform legislation prohibited use of cost-per-QALY thresholds. The United Kingdom has proposed that the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), which has influenced reimbursement through cost-per-QALY ratios, will not in the future use ...

Risk Analysis, 2002
Quality adjusted life years (QALYs) and willingness to pay (WTP) are alternative measures of the value of reductions in health risk that are often used in evaluating environmental, health, and safety practices. Although both methods are based on individual preferences, the underlying assumptions differ.
