Short-term disutility weights of pneumococcal diseases
| Disutility weight | Reference/assumptions | Rangea% | PSA distribution | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Meningitis (inpatient) | 0.023 | [44] value for meningitis with recovery | ±50 | Beta (α = 7.70, β = 324.15) |
| Bacteremia (inpatient) | 0.008 | [44] value for hospitalization | ±50 | Beta (α = 6.46, β = 811.13) |
| Pneumonia (inpatient) | 0.008 | Assumed to be the same as for inpatient bacteremia | ±50 | Beta (α = 6.62, β = 821.25) |
| Pneumonia (outpatient) | 0.006 | [44] value for local infection | ±50 | Beta (α = 3.73, β = 618.18) |
| AOM (outpatient) | 0.005 | [45] | ±50 | Triangular |
| AOM (hospitalized myringotomy) | 0.005 | Assumed to be the same as for AOM (outpatient) | ±50 | Triangular |
