Problems and solutions in calculating quality-adjusted life years (QALYs).
Health and quality of life outcomes, 2003 The quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) is a measure of the value of health outcomes. Since health is a function of length of life and quality of life, the QALY was developed as an attempt to combine the value of these attributes into a single index number. The QALY calculation is simple: the change in utility value induced by the treatment is multiplied
