摘要
The widespread adoption of the EuroQol 5-dimensional questionnaire (EQ-5D) has been important for the comparability, transparency, and consistency of economic evaluations for informing resource allocation in healthcare. The objectives of this article were to (1) critically assess whether the widespread adoption of the EQ-5D and its time trade-off-based value sets to inform economic evaluation is likely to continue and (2) speculate about how benefits may be measured and valued to inform economic evaluation in the future. Evidence supports the use of the EQ-5D in many areas of health, but there are notable gaps. Furthermore, there has been interest among some policy makers in measuring changes in well-being, and in using common outcomes across sectors. Possibilities for measuring well-being alongside health can be achieved through bolt-on dimensions or an entirely new measure capturing both health and well-being. Nevertheless, there are significant concerns about the logic of estimating a common utility function. The development of online valuation methods has had a major impact on the field, which is likely to continue. We, however, recommend more allowance for respondents to consider their answers. There is an ongoing debate on the role of patient values or experience-based values. To date, this has seen limited take-up by decision makers and there are significant technical problems to obtaining representative and meaningful values. Policy makers and the general population must decide on the focus and scope of benefits that are incorporated into economic evaluation, and current evidence on this is mixed. In part, this will determine whether the widespread adoption will continue. Copyright (c) 2019, ISPOR-The Professional Society for Health Economics and Outcomes Research. Published by Elsevier Inc.
