Valuing SF-6Dv2 Using a Discrete Choice Experiment in a General Population in Quebec, Canada.

ABSTRACT:

Background

An updated version of the Short-Form 6-Dimension (SF-6D) Classification System has been developed. This new version (SF-6Dv2) with improved consistency and dimension descriptors is now requiring the development of new utility value sets. The aim of this study was to estimate an SF-6Dv2 value set from a general population in Quebec, Canada.

Methods

A discrete choice experiment with time trade-off (DCE_TTO) was conducted using two designs: binary choice sets (Design 1) and best-worst choice sets (Design 2). Design 1 consisted of binary choice sets along with an associated duration, and Design 2 included Design 1 and a third scenario describing "immediate death." Various logit model specifications were employed to estimate value sets separately for Design 1
