Table 2.

Values of a QALY via calculations from survey research

Using 12-month (mean) WTP value and (mean) standard QALY index:
CONDITION CALCULATION VALUE OF QALY

1. Mean WTP to avoid 12-month S = £1870
Stomach 2. Average QALY benefit = 0.104 £17,980
Divide 1. by 2.

1. Mean WTP to avoid 12-month H = £3250
Head 2. Average QALY benefit = 0.144 £22,570
Divide 1. by 2.

Using 3-month (mean) WTP value and (mean) standard QALY index:

CONDITION CALCULATION VALUE OF QALY

1. Mean WTP to avoid 3-month S = £810
Stomach 2. Average QALY benefit = 0.026 £31,150
Divide 1. by 2.

1. Mean WTP to avoid 3-month H = £1495
Head 2. Average QALY benefit = 0.036 £41,530
Divide 1. by 2.

Using 12-month (median) WTP value and (median) standard QALY index:

CONDITION CALCULATION VALUE OF QALY

1. Median WTP to avoid 12-month S = £500
Stomach 2. Median QALY benefit = 0.025 £20,000
Divide 1. by 2.

1. Median WTP avoid 12-month H = £1000
Head 2. Median QALY benefit = 0.025 £40,000
Divide 1. by 2.
