Measurement properties of HUI in different countries/districts and different disease groups

Quality of PBM and evidence
Construct validity Test-retest reliability Responsiveness
Hong Kong + H [54]
Singapore + H [12, 47, 52] ± Lb [12, 47] ± Ma [12, 24]
Thailand + H [60] + H [60] + H [60]
Developmental disease + H [54]
Eye disease + H [24]
Heart disease + H [60] + H [60] + H [60]
Mental disorders + H [12, 52] ± Vb.c [12] ± Lb [12]
Rheumatic disease + H [47] + Vb.c [47]

Quality of PBM: + indicates sufficient results; ± indicates inconsistent results; − indicates insufficient results

Quality of evidence: H indicates high; M indicates moderate; L indicates low; V indicates very low

Italicised font indicates that grading is based on no more than three studies

HUI Health Utilities Index, PBM preference-based measure, ROB risk of bias

aQuality downgraded by 1 level due to ROB

bQuality downgraded by 2 levels due to ROB

cQuality downgraded by 1 level due to imprecision
