Methodology

Noteworthy comment: Foreign utilities of the EQ-5D-3L are not readily transferrable to economic evaluations conducted from a national perspective. The present study aimed to develop a method for adjusting mean utilities to make them transferable from one country to another. The present study showed that it is feasible to develop and validate regression models for adjusting mean utility estimates valued by foreign value sets that are systematically different than the national value set. The paper showed that adjustment has the potential to increase the transferability of a foreign utility to a national setting.
