What topics in quality of life research are most
relevant/interesting for you and/or your work?

Health Economics
Comparing
different allocations
Should we spent our money on
• Wheel chairs
• Screening for cancer
Comparing costs
Comparing outcome
Outcomes
must be comparable
Make a generic outcome measure
7
Outcomes in health economics
Specific
outcome are incompatible
Allow only for comparisons within the specific field
• Clinical successes: successful operation, total cure
• Clinical failures: “events”
“Hart failure” versus “second psychosis”
Generic
outcome are compatible
Allow for comparisons between fields
• Life years
• Quality of life
Most
generic outcome
Quality adjusted life year (QALY)

Quality Adjusted Life Years
(QALY)
Example
Blindness
Time trade-off value is 0.5
Life span = 80 years
0.5 x 80 = 40 QALYs

Which health care program is
the most cost-effective?
A new wheelchair for elderly (iBOT)
Increases quality of life = 0.1
10 years benefit
Extra costs: $ 4,000 per life year
QALY = Y x V(Q) = 10 x 0.1 = 1 QALY
Costs are 10 x $3,000 = $30,000
Cost/QALY = 40,000/QALY
Special post natal care
Quality of life = 0.8
35 year
Costs are $250,000
QALY = 35 x 0.8 = 28 QALY
Cost/QALY = 8,929/QALY

Two points of critique
QALYs
are measured in an invalid way
Life years is not the problem, thus…
It must be the validity of quality of life assessment…
One
should not use cost effectiveness
Often referred to as ‘ethics’

Burden of disease
19
Dutch Council for Public Health and
Health Care (RvZ, 2006)
20
Burden of disease:
QALY lost = DALY (Disability adjusted life year)
DALY
QALY
Burden of disease expressed as
“QALY lost” = DALY
Disability
adjusted life years
The inverse of QALY
Used by the WHO
Expresses
burden of disease
Measure of priority
More burden, more investment
QALY
lost (DALY) = Measure of solidarity
22
QALY: both for effectiveness
and solidarity
Evaluations
assess cost-effectiveness in term
of cost/QALY
But many decisions can not be explained by
cost/QALY
Explanation in terms of fairness
People disagree with distributional implications of QALY
maximisation
Fairness
is burden of disease
Burden of disease is QALY lost (DALY)
23
QALY debate
Fairness
is the issue in the QALY debate
QALY measurement is the straw man
Complex metric discussion
QALYs are needed to operationalize fairness
Most
debate about quality of life assessment
That debate = rest of the course
24
Most debate about the QoL
estimates
Unidimensional
QoL
In QALY we need a unidimensional assessment of Quality of life
