How important is parameter uncertainty around the UK EQ-5D-3L value set when estimating treatment effects?

Conference item

Aims: The uncertainty around the EQ-5D-3L value set is commonly ignored in economic evaluation. This study evaluates the impact of including parameter uncertainty around the original UK EQ-5D-3L value set (or “tariff”) within standard errors as well as sampling uncertainty around the trial population. Methods: First, we re-estimated the N3 model of the EQ-5D-3L value set with original data from the Measurement and Valuation of Health (MVH) study to replicate the published coefficients. Second...
