Meta-analysis of health state utility values measured by EuroQol 5-dimensions (EQ5D) questionnaire in Chinese women with breast cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To synthesise EQ5D health state utility values in Chinese women with breast cancer for parameterising a cost utility model.

Methods

Eligible studies had to report health state utility values measured by EQ-5D in Chinese women diagnosed with breast cancer. Risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle Ottawa Scale (NOS). Data from single arm studies was pooled using meta-analysis of single proportions to provide overall point estimates and 95% confidence intervals for fixed and random effects models using the inverse variance and Der Simonian-Laird methods respectively. Heterogeneity was evaluated using the I² statistic and sensitivity analysis and meta-regression were conducted.

Results

Five papers were included, when all studies were combined (n
