Quality Adjusted Life Years Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALY)(QALY)
Quality of life index– 1.0 = normal health– 0.0 = death (extremely bad health)
Example – Losing sense of sight– Quality of life index is 0.5– Life = 80 years– 0.5 x 80 = 40 QALYs
Most debate about the QoL estimates

Quality of life measurementQuality of life measurement
Typically done with questionnaires– Disease specific
• International Prostate Symptom Score– Generic
• SF-36, NHP– Utility
• HUI, EQ-5D, AQoL, 15D, Rosser index Utility assessment
– SG, TTO, PTO, VAS For QALY we need utility

Calculate QALYCalculate QALY
Count life years Value (V) quality of life (Q)
– V(Q) = [0..1] • 1 = Healthy• 0 = Dead
Adjusted life years (Y) for value quality of life – QALY = Y * V(Q)
• Y: numbers of life years• Q: health state• V(Q): the quality of life value of health state

Disability Adjusted Life Years Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs)(DALYs)DALYs for a disease are the sum of
the years of life lost due to premature mortality (YLL) in the population and the years lost due to disability (YLD) for incident cases of the health condition. One DALY represents the loss of one year of equivalent full health.

Disability Adjusted Life Years Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs)(DALYs) Measures healthy time lost from specific
diseases and injuries in a population Comparable and additive across diseases
Ex: Broken scapula = .5 DALYs lost
Protein deficiency = 2 DALYs lost
Based on relatively accessible incidence data (ICD codes)

Cost of Illness (COI) AnalysisCost of Illness (COI) Analysis
Estimate the impact of a disease / condition on the overall costs
Include direct as well as indirect costs– Example:The overall costs for cancer in 2002
in the US was $171.6 billion (ACS, 2003), including
• $60.9 billion in direct medical costs• $15.5 billion in indirect morbidity costs• $95.2 billion in indirect mortality costs
![Page 14: 1 Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALY) Quality of life index –1.0 = normal health –0.0 = death (extremely bad health) Example –Losing sense of sight –Quality.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649eda5503460f94be90cd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Budget Impact Analysis (BIA)Budget Impact Analysis (BIA)
Estimate the financial effect of an intervention on a health plan or program
BIA is often requested by managed care organizations in the US or national health insurance programs (e.g., Canada, UK)– Example: Treating all stage IV NSCLC patients
in Canada with paclitaxel and cisplatin as outpatients would cost $155 million, an additional $15 million per annum compared to best supportive care.
![Page 15: 1 Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALY) Quality of life index –1.0 = normal health –0.0 = death (extremely bad health) Example –Losing sense of sight –Quality.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649eda5503460f94be90cd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
BIA (cont.)BIA (cont.)
Most BIA analysis has a one year time frame.
BIA taking a longer time frame need to consider the impact of new interventions on the underlying disease prevalence and make appropriate adjustments in analyses.

InflationInflation
Inflation is a sustained increase in the average level of prices. The rate of inflation is the percentage change in average prices from one year to the next
For prices that tend to increase at the rate of general prices (e.g., consumer goods), use the Consumer Price Index (CPI)
For items whose prices rise faster than the general rate of inflation, use a component of the CPI, such as the Medical Care component of CPI
For wages, use either an index of hourly wages or earnings
![Page 22: 1 Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALY) Quality of life index –1.0 = normal health –0.0 = death (extremely bad health) Example –Losing sense of sight –Quality.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649eda5503460f94be90cd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
ExampleExample
Suppose you want to use information from a published manuscript that listed the cost of a severe adverse event of febrile neutropenia in 1983 dollars to be $1,531. How would you adjust that figure to current dollars?
Index: – 1983 (base year)=100– 1998 = 242.7
C(1998) = $1,531 * 242.7 / 100 = $3,716

DiscountingDiscounting
Many decisions made today will have repercussions next year and in the years thereafter.
We need a method for comparing the desirability of outcomes that include consequences occurring at different times in the future.
![Page 24: 1 Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALY) Quality of life index –1.0 = normal health –0.0 = death (extremely bad health) Example –Losing sense of sight –Quality.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649eda5503460f94be90cd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Theory of DiscountingThe Theory of Discounting
The theoretical justification for discounting is based on two facts:– time preference: most people would
accept less money to receive it sooner; and
– opportunity cost: less money can be invested by society and allowed to grow at a compound rate of interest to yield the money required for future costs.
![Page 25: 1 Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALY) Quality of life index –1.0 = normal health –0.0 = death (extremely bad health) Example –Losing sense of sight –Quality.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649eda5503460f94be90cd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Issues in DiscountingIssues in Discounting
While there is universal acceptance of the need to discount, there is much controversy over – the appropriate discount rate to use, – whether to discount health benefits as
well as costs, and– whether to use the same rate to
discount costs and benefits.

effective– Do nothing

• Vaccine A:3%, Vaccine B: 0.5%, do nothing: 5%
– probability of death:• vaccine A: 0.1%, vaccine B: 0%, do nothing: 0.3%
Health care resource consumed: – Vaccine A: vaccine cost + treatment cost– Vaccine B: vaccine cost + treatment cost– Do nothing: treatment cost

CEA Example (cont.)CEA Example (cont.)
Analyze the data – Note: what we want to construct in CEA
is ICER– ICER for vaccine A (vs. do nothing)
C=(differences in cost between A and do nothing)=(vaccine cost+treatment cost) -(treating cost) = (10*1000+30*250)-(50*250)=5000
E=(death avoided)=(3-1)=2Therefore, ICER(A) = $5000/2 = $2500 (per life saved)

Sensitivity Analysis – Used to test how robust the previous
conclusions are when assumptions vary.
– For example, discount rate, probability of infection, ... etc.

Calculate ICER– ICER for vaccine A (vs. do nothing)
C=5000
E=(quality adjusted life years saved from death avoided)+(QALY saved from mumps avoided) =(2*50)+(50)*(50-30)*0.8=900
• Therefore,
ICER (A) = $5000/900 = $5.55 (per QALY saved)
