Objectives

To compare the measurement properties between EQ-5D-5L/SF-6Dv2 and QLU-C10D utilities, and to assess the implications of their adoption in QALY estimation in hematologic cancer patients.

Method

Longitudinal data of Chinese lymphoma and myeloma patients were adopted. Utility scores of the three instruments were calculated based on a variety of country-specific value sets. Their measurement properties including convergent validity, known-group validity, sensitivity, and responsiveness were compared. With-in group change in utilities derived from the instruments were also generated and compared.

Results

A total of 200 lymphoma and 139 myeloma patients were enrolled at baseline; and 78 and 89 of them were followed up, respectively. The three kinds of utilities showed similar convergent validity; but all had restricted known-group validity. All of them could identify meaningful changes in clinical status; while whether QLU-C10D utilities was more responsive and yielded larger utility change were closely related to the value sets adopted.

Conclusion

It appears that the advantages of QLU-C10D over EQ-5D-5L/SF-6Dv2 were not so obvious, and it may not necessarily produce more QALY gains as well. The choice of utility value set played an important role in the two aspects.
