Q

(T/F): The ultimate aim of physiological measures is not only to avoid these events but to avoid their “consequences” in terms of disability or death.

A

T

24
Q

They are usually collected in Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs).

A

Survival Data

25
Q

They are normally expressed as the proportion of patients alive at the end of the trial, the number of deaths averted, or (more commonly) the number of Life Years Saved (LYS).

A

Survival Data

26
Q

It examines time to event series.

A

Survival Data

27
Q

Evaluating interventions aimed at reducing the burden of chronic diseases.

A

Quality of Life (QoL)

28
Q

(T/F): The primary objective of QoL is to improve the patient’s quality of living via mental or physical abilities.

A

T

29
Q

Based on WHO, this is the combination of physical, mental and social wellbeing, not merely the absence of disease.

A

Health

30
Q

Measures of health-related QoL can either be __________.

A

Generic or Disease-Specific

31
Q

It focuses on dimensions of the patient QoL related to the particular condition.

A

Disease-Specific Measures

32
Q

Example/s of Disease-Specific Measures

A

• Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)
• Multiple Sclerosis QoL Inventory (MSQLI)

33
Q

These measures have the advantage of being more sensitive to the impact of particular diseases.

A

Disease-Specific Measures

34
Q

(T/F): Disease-Specific Measures cannot be used for decision-making regarding the allocation of resources across more than one condition.

A

T

35
Q

It do not focus on particular diseases but rather on the general dimensions of health such as depression, pain, mobility, etc.

A

Generic Measures

36
Q

Example/s of General Dimensions of Health

A

• Physical Health
• Emotional Health
• Mental Health
• Social Health
• Spiritual Health

37
Q

These measures are less sensitive to changes in patient disease status.

A

Generic Measures

38
Q

Common Used Versions of Generic Measures of HRQoL

A
  1. Short Form-36
  2. Nottingham Health Profile
  3. Sickness Impact Profile
  4. General Wellbeing Scale
39
Q

Another generic measure that can be used to compare outcomes across different patient groups and disease areas.

A

Utility

40
Q

Defined as the “value of person places on particular health state or health outcome.”

A

Utility

41
Q

It is generally between 0 to 1, death to life.

A

Utility

42
Q

It measures of the value that an individual gives particular health state.

A

Utility

43
Q

Two (2) Types of Off-The-Shell Questionnaires

A
  1. Descriptive System
  2. Accompanying Tariff
44
Q

It is preferred by health economists because it is based on making choices and taking risks.

A

Standard Gamble

45
Q

Standard Gamble involves Two (2) Alternatives

A
  1. Living in Full Health
  2. Immediate Death
46
Q

In this method, the respondent is offered Two (2) Alternatives: Alternative 1 is Full Health for Time and Alternative 2 is To Remain in Health State.

A

Time Trade-Off (TTO)

47
Q

Two (2) Preferred Methods for Measuring Utilities

A
  1. Standard Gamble
  2. Time Trade-Off (TTO)
48
Q

It is possible to elicit health state preferences directly using the direct __________ designed to elicit preferences.

A

Valuation Techniques

49
Q

When capturing the costs and benefits of an intervention, economic evaluations must account for differences in resource use and health gain over time.

A

Time Horizon

50
Q

This is the longevity of the treatment.

A

Time Horizon

51
Q

The “length of time over which costs and consequences are assessed.”

A

Time Horizon

52
Q

(T/F): If the chosen time horizon does not reflect the observed pattern of costs and consequences, then the results of an economic evaluation are likely to be reliable.

A

F / Reliable / UNRELIABLE

53
Q

Making future costs and consequences reflect their current value in this way ensures that studies reflect “positive time preference.”

A

Discounting

54
Q

This refers to our preference as individuals to consume benefits now but pay for them later.

A

Discounting

55
Q

In most studies, the “discount rate” is usually set between __________.

A

0% and 6%
