Methods and issues associated with the use of quality-adjusted life-years
Expert Review of Pharmacoeconomics & Outcomes Research, 2012In this article, we will focus on how preferences and utilities are measured, including the strengths and limitations of various approaches, discuss their use in estimating quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) and make some recommendations for further research. Preferences are either measured using direct (visual analog scale, time trade-off or standard

Understanding Quality-Adjusted Life Years and Their Application to Pharmacoeconomic Research
The Annals of Pharmacotherapy, 2000OBJECTIVE: To provide a basic overview of quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) and their application in cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA), compare and contrast QALYs with other health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) assessments, describe current controversies regarding QALYs, and provide comparisons between QALY instruments.
