NICE is inviting public input on a proposed change to how health-related quality of life is valued.
NICE has launched a public consultation on the proposed adoption of the new EQ-5D-5L value set. According to NICE, the new value set will help it make more accurate assessments of how treatments improve health-related quality of life.
Scope
The current consultation includes proposed updates to NICE’s methods manuals, along with the results of 3 impact assessments examining how the EQ-5D-5L could affect:
-
cost-effectiveness calculations, including QALY estimates and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios
-
the number of decisions qualifying for the severity modifier and how it changes QALY shortfall estimates
-
equalities and health inequalities.
The consultation is open from Wednesday 15 April to Wednesday 13 May.
