The EORTC QLU-C10D discrete choice experiment for cancer patients: a first step towards patient utility weights.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Utility-Core 10 Dimensions (QLU-C10D) is a novel cancer-specific preference-based measure (PBM) for which value sets are being developed for an increasing number of countries. This is done by obtaining health preferences from the respective general population. There is an ongoing discussion if instead patients suffering from the disease in question should be asked for their preferences. We used the QLU-C10D valuation survey, originally designed for use in the general population, in a sample of cancer patients in Austria to assess the methodology's acceptability and applicability in this target group before obtaining QLU-C10D patient preferences.
