Week 8- Preference-based, Co-morbidity and Disease Specific Instruments Flashcards
What are preference-based measures?
- used to obtain the quality adjustment weight required to calculate the quality-adjusted life year in health economic models
- consist of a self-complete patient questionnaire, a health state classification system, and preference weights for all states defined by the classification system
Quality-adjusted life years
Generic measure of disease burden that includes quality and quantity of life lived
Short Form 6 Dimensions SF-6D
multi-attribute utility instrument derived from the Short-Form 36 and is used to calculate quality-adjusted life
SF-6D: 6 Dimensions
- Energy
- Mental health
- Pain
- Physical functioning
- Role limitation
- Social functioning
EuroQOL (EQ-5D) -> What 3 things can it be used for?
- Clinical trials
- Population health surveys
- Routine outcome measurement
EuroQOL (EQ-5D): 5 Dimensions
- Anxiety/depression
- Mobility
- Pain/discomfort
- Self-care
- Usual activities
- Each dimension has 3 levels
- no problems
- some problems
- extreme problems
Health Utilities Index (HUI) Version 3
- A family of generic preference-based systems for measuring comprehensive health status and health-related quality of life
- Health dimensions include vision, hearing, speech, ambulation/mobility, pain, dexterity, self-care, emotion and cognition
HUI Scoring
- interval scale properties
- Scores are on the conventional dead = 0.00 to perfect health = 1.00 scale and are appropriate for calculating quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) in cost-effectiveness and cost-utility analyses.
- A difference of 0.03 or more in HUI scores of HRQL is clearly clinically important
Health Utilities Index Domains
- vision
- hearing
- speech
- ambulation
- dexterity
- emotion
- cognition
- pain
American Association of Anesthetists Physical Status Classification System (ASA)
- purpose= assess and communicate a patient’s pre-anesthesia medical co-morbidities
- predicts perioperative risks
- predicts postoperative resource utilization and mortality in numerous surgical fields
Issues with the ASA
- definitions are based on the severity of disease and may result in inconsistent application
- “systemic” in ASA classification creates confusion
ASA I Criteria
A normal healthy patient
ASA II Criteria
A patient with mild systemic disease
Adult: Mild diseases only without substantive functional limitations. Current smoker, social alcohol drinker, pregnancy, obesity (30
ASA I Adult
Healthy, non-smoking, no or minimal alcohol use
ASA I Pediatric
Healthy (no acute or chronic disease), normal BMI percentile for age
