Quality adjusted life years as expected utilities [PDF]
Spanish Economic Review, 2000 Abstract. This article is intended to systematicaly show all the conditions that the Quality Adjusted Life Year (QALY) must satisfy so that it can be interpreted as a von Newman-Morgenstern utility. Such conditions cover two cases. When health states are chronic, we shall be referring to the conditions inferred by Pliskin, Shepard and Weinstein (1980).

Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, 2007There is evidence that utility elicitation methods used in the calculation of quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) yield different results. It is not clear how these differences impact economic evaluations.Using a mathematical model incorporating data on efficacy, costs, and utility values, we simulated the experiences of 100,000 hypothetical rheumatoid

The importance of Perspective in the Measurement of Quality-adjusted Life Years
Medical Decision Making, 1997Scaling instruments for the measurement of quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) incor porate either a personal or an impersonal perspective on the benefits of a health intervention and either do or do not incorporate considerations of equity. This paper sets out three hypotheses concerning perspective and equity: 1) that more equally distributed ...

Quality-adjusted Life Years, Utility Theory, and Healthy-years Equivalents
Medical Decision Making, 1989Decisions about medical treatments and the settings of health programs are not purely technical, but also involve issues of value such as the evaluation of trade-offs between quality of life (morbidity) and quantity of life (mortality). The most commonly used measure of outcome in such cases is the quality-adjusted life year (QALY).

Are Healthy-years Equivalents an Improvement over Quality-adjusted Life Years?
Medical Decision Making, 1993The construct of the healthy-years equivalent (HYE) has been proposed as an alternative to the quality-adjusted life year (QALY) on the grounds that it avoids certain restrictive assumptions about preferences and also incorporates attitudes toward risk.

Utilitarianism and the Measurement and Aggregation of Quality – Adjusted Life Years
Health Care Analysis, 2001It is widely accepted that one of the main objectives of government expenditure on health care is to generate health. Since health is a function of both length of life and quality of life, the quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) has been developed in an attempt to combine the value of these attributes into a single index number.
