Many health systems now use cost-effectiveness analysis to decide which interventions and programmes to fund. A key issue for such decision making is how to measure health outcomes from interventions to reflect changes in both health-related quality of life and life expectancy.

Utilities and Quality-Adjusted Life Years
International Journal of Technology Assessment in Health Care, 1989Utilities and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) are reviewed, with particular focus on their use in technology assessment. This article provides a broad overview and perspective on these two techniques and their interrelationship, with reference to other sources for details of implementation.

Quality‐adjusted life years: origins, measurements, applications, objections
Australian Journal of Public Health, 1993Abstract: Quality‐adjusted life years or QALYs are used to combine, in a single measure, information about the quantity and quality of life produced by a health intervention. They have been used as outcome measures in clinical trials and in cost‐effectiveness analyses. This paper describes how QALYs are assessed and how they are used.

Not all “quality-adjusted life years” are equal
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

Cost-Utility Analysis and Quality Adjusted Life Years
Journal Of Pain & Palliative Care Pharmacotherapy, 2005Cost utility analysis is a form of cost-effectiveness analysis in which outcomes are adjusted for quality and quantity of life. This type of analysis is used widely in Europe and is being used increasingly in the United States. This article provides an overview of cost utility analysis and quality adjusted life years, a commonly used effectiveness ...

Methods for quality adjustment of life years
Social Science & Medicine, 1992Several valuation techniques are in use for quality adjusting life years in cost utility analysis. The paper gives an overview of the variability in results. A close inspection of a number of instruments with respect to their theme, instructions, decision framing and the phrasing of questions make many of the observed differences in results ...

quality-adjusted life-years (QALY)
2009syn. healthy-year equivalent (HYE); QALYs are calculated by multiplying the time spent in each health state by the value assigned to the particular health state; to calculate QALYs, numerical judgments of the desirability of various outcomes must be determined; these values are called “utilities” (with values between 0-death and 1-perfect health; very ...
