Debiasing EQ-5D Tariffs. New Estimation of the Spanish EQ-5D Value Set under Non-Expected Utility (con Jose M. Abellan, Fernando I. Sanchez e Ildefonso Méndez). 2009. CENTRA Working Paper E2009/06 (PDF) Abstract:

In this paper we focus on the important issue of the validity of EQ‐5D tariffs. Specifically, we present two new estimations of the Spanish EQ‐5D tariff, which try to account for two biases, utility curvature of life duration and probability weighting. Our results reveal that it is possible to remove biases from EQ‐5D algorithms in an efficient way (i.e., without inconsistencies at aggregate level and with a goodness of fit fairly similar to comparable tariffs). Although our scoring algorithms are derived from Spanish preferences, the methodology applied can be used to estimate new national tariffs in other countries. New directions for future research are discussed.
The QALY model which came in from a general population survey, roughly multiplicative, broadly nonlinear and sometimes context-dependent (con Jose M. Abellan, Fernando I. Sanchez e Ildefonso Méndez). 2009. CENTRA Working Paper E2009/04 (PDF) Abstract:

This paper applies a method, first proposed by Miyamoto (2000), to adjust health state utilities accounting for curvature of the utility function of life duration. Such a method is not susceptible to error propagation and avoids biases due to probability weighting. Group estimates obtained with the new adjustment method were, in general, consistent with previous evidence. Several axiomatic tests of the QALY model under both expected utility and rank-dependent utility were also performed. According to the results obtained from a large general population survey, it seems that a multiplicative QALY model with a power utility function for life duration may be a reasonable approximation to individual true preferences. Finally, we also found that the common practice of freely transferring health state utilities across riskless and risky contexts may be wrong for a significant number of conditions.
