A Spanish value set for the SF-6D based on the SF-12 v1. [PDF]
Abstract Aim This paper reports the first estimation of an SF-6D value set based on the SF-12 for Spain. Methods A representative sample (n = 1020) of the Spanish general population valued a selection of 56 hypothetical SF-6D health states by means of a probability lottery ...

A systematic review of SF-6D health state valuation studies
The short-form 6-dimension (SF-6D) is a preference-based measure designed to calculate quality-adjusted life-year (QALY). Preference-based measures are standardized multidimensional health state classifications with preference or utility weights elicited from a sample of the population.

A view from the Bridge: agreement between the SF-6D utility algorithm and the Health utilities Index [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The SF-6D is a new health state classification and utility scoring system based on 6 dimensions (‘6D’) of the Short Form 36, and permits a ‘‘bridging’’ transformation between SF-36 responses and utilities. The Health Utilities Index, mark 3

The estimation of a preference-based measure of health from the SF-36 [PDF]
This paper reports on the findings of a study to derive a preference-based measure of health from the SF-36 for use in economic evaluation. The SF-36 was revised into a six-dimensional health state classification called the SF-6D.

Measurement of SF-6D Utility among Patients with Active Tuberculosis [PDF]
Inspite of so much development in medical technology, Tuberculosis (TB) is still the problem for humans. Few studies, in Pakistan highlighted the factors that affect patients health related quality of life (HRQOL) with active TB. The aim of this study is to measure short form six dimension (Sf-6D) utility scores of patients with active TB of Sargodha ...

A Portuguese Value Set for the SF-6D
The SF-6D is a preference-based measure of health derived from the SF-36 that can be used for cost-effectiveness analysis using cost-per-quality adjusted life-year analysis. This study seeks to estimate a system weight for the SF-6D for Portugal and to compare the results with the UK system weights.A sample of 55 health states defined by the SF-6D has ...

Estimating a preference-based index from the Japanese SF-36 [PDF]
Objective: The main objective of the study was to estimate a preference-bascd Short Form (SF)-6D index from the SF-36 for Japan and compare it with the UK results. Study Design and Setting: The SF-6D was translated into Japanese. Two hundred and forty-

Background The SF-6D is a new single summary preference-based measure of health derived from the SF-36. Empirical work is required to determine what is the smallest change in SF-6D scores that can be regarded as important and meaningful for health ...
