Conversion of Utility and Social Value of General EQ-5D Scale Based on Person Trade-off Method
Abstract：Objective: It discussed the application value of person trade-off(PTO) method in the study of conversion between EQ-5D uti-ity and social values. It analyzed the health intervention program more comprehensively from the perspective of social group so as to improve the equity of health decision. Methods: PTO was introduced to analyze the cost-social value of two kinds of drugs for chronic stable angina pectoris and compared the two treatment regimens comprehensively. Results: Social value analysis showed that two kinds of social value for treating chronic stable angina pectoris had no statistical significance. Therefore, the minimum cost method was adopted to compare two trea-ments on cost difference. Conclusion: PTO could well realize conversion between general EQ–5D scale health utility value and social value, and could be combined with cost data for different intervention measures to carry out the cost-social value economics evaluation. It had good research significance and application value.
