A Systematic Literature Review of Health Utility Values in Breast Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Health utility values (HUVs) are important inputs to the cost-utility analysis of breast cancer interventions.

Purpose

Provide a catalog of breast cancer-related published HUVs across different stages of breast cancer and treatment interventions.

Data sources

Systematic searches of MEDLINE, MEDLINE In-Process, EMBASE, Web of Science, CINAHL, PsycINFO, EconLit, and Cochrane databases (2005-2017).

Study selection

Studies published in English that reported mean or median HUVs using direct or indirect methods of utility elicitation for breast cancer.

Data extraction

Independent reviewers extracted data on a preestablished and piloted form; disagreements were resolved through discussion.

Data analysis

Mixed-effects meta-regression using rest
