Elicitation of Health State Utilities Associated with Progression from Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) Unresponsive Non-muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC).

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The treatments for high-grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) vary between bladder preserving intravesical approaches and radical cystectomy. The impact of these treatments on health-related quality of life may vary widely. The purpose of this study was to elicit the general public's perspective on quality of life, measured as utility scores associated with treatment for Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG)-unresponsive NMIBC and disease progression, for supporting economic evaluation of newly developed treatments for NMIBC.

Materials and methods

Part I involved the development and testing of health states describing NMIBC, which was informed by a rapid review, expert input and a patient advisor. Part II involved elicitation of societal utility values for the
