Utility
A preference-based measure of health-related quality of life, anchored at 0 (death) and 1 (perfect health).
Definition
Utility values, also called health state utility values or HRQoL weights, are used to quality-adjust life years in QALY calculations. Values are typically between 0 (equivalent to death) and 1 (full health), though some states may be valued worse than death (negative values). Common instruments for measuring utility include the EQ-5D, SF-6D, and HUI.
