Utility value metrics derived from 382 patients and their associated comorbidities
| Utility Method | Meana | Mediana | Rangea |
|---|---|---|---|
| Utility value (mean)b | 0.718 | 0.726 | 0.425 to 0.871 |
| Utility value (median)b | 0.733 | 0.756 | 0.425 to 0.950 |
| Utility value (maximum)b | 0.890 | 0.900 | 0.425 to 0.996 |
| Utility value (minimum) | 0.497 | 0.520 | 0.131 to 0.735 |
| Utility value (additive) | −1.138 | −1.022 | −5.148 to 0.585 |
| Utility value (multiplicative) | 0.129 | 0.0831 | 0 to 0.619 |
| Utility value (ADE) | 0.217 | 0.186 | 0.001 to 0.701 |
The mean, median, and range represent utility values derived from all patients in the dataset for the particular method used.
The utility value mean, median, and maximum of the utility methods refer to standard methods of calculating the means, median, or largest value from a set of utility values for a single patient.
ADE, adjusted decrement estimator.
