Utility value at health state:
 11111 (full health) 1
 12111 (second best health state) 0.9573
 11211 0.9536
 11112 0.9362
 21111 0.9308
 11121 0.9161
 55555 (the worst health state)  − 0.5115

For instance, value of the health state 12345 is calculated as: 1 − (MO1) − (disutility SC1 − SC2) − (disutility UA1 − UA3) − (disutility PD1 − PD4) − (disutility AD1 − AD5) = 1 − (0) − (0.0428) − (0.0587) − (0.2700) − (0.2388) = 0.3897
