Use of forecasted assessment of quality of life to validate time-trade-off utilities and a prostate cancer screening decision-analytic model.
The researchers sought to determine whether the forecasted assessment of how someone would feel in a future health state can be predictive of utilities (e.g. as elicited by the time-trade-off method) and also predictive of optimal decisions as determined by a decision-analytic model. They concluded that anticipated difficulty adjusting to adverse health effects were highly related to preferences and could be used as a proxy measure of utility.
