A Comparison of the SF-6Dv2 and SF-6D UK Utility Values in a Mixed Patient and Healthy Population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This paper describes the first evaluation of the construct validity and performance of the newly developed preference-based measure of health, the SF-6D version 2 (SF-6Dv2).

Method

Utilising data from the Multi-Instrument Comparison (MIC) project (n = 7932), we explored the descriptive differences in utility values between the SF-6Dv2 and the SF-6D and evaluated the known group validity of both measures by testing the statistical significance of differences in utility values and calculating the effect sizes across known groups. The convergent validity of the SF-6Dv2 was explored by examining whether the SF-6Dv2 is related to alternative validated measures, including the EQ-5D-5L and AQoL-8D.

Results

Differences between the utility values of the SF-6Dv2 and
