New modeling study: QALY-based cost-effectiveness analyses undervalue life-extending Duchenne muscular dystrophy treatments, favoring delayed progression over mortality gains and highlighting limitations of traditional value frameworks. #HEOR #qalys #musculardystrophy jheor.org/article/156118
Quality-Adjusted Life Years metrics used to assess the cost-effectiveness of health interventions often yield unacceptable long-term impacts. #QALYs suck for patients. Learn more about why: https://www.plusinc.org/qalys

The #NHSLongTermPlan proposes shifting resources from treatment to prevention. 🔄
EEPRU research shows this is evidence-based: public health spending delivers more #QALYs per £ than @NHS treatment💡

Looking for a recent paper that reports on HRQoL via EQ-5D-5L/3L scores, that specifically reports on the each of the domains/levels of the EQ-5D.
Preferably in a chronic disease, and also preferably US-based (but not necessary). Anyone? @euroqol.bsky.social

New insight: 68% of OECD countries formally use #QALYs in pricing decisions, but practices vary. How consistent is economic evaluation across borders?

Another bill #S1818 referencing foreign use of #QALYs introduced by @SenatorBern including support from @SenWarren @ChrisMurphy - yet they are on record opposing QALYs in 2020! You can't support health rationing tools devaluing disability without impacting access! warren.senate.gov/imo/media/do...
Reports about the death of QALYs is greatly exaggerated. My new blog post:

Good piece by @araymakers.bsky.social et al. using the Tufts CEA Registry:
"Concerns over CEAs identifying subgroups in their analyses do not appear to be justified & does not warrant precluding the use of #QALYs for decision-making or price negotiation for drugs."
@tuftscevr.bsky.social
🚨 Just out today (online)! 🚨
Our results show that a common argument against #QALYs (based on the use of subgroup analyses) is not justified with empirical data.

Findings from Singapore suggest chronic pain, MDD, OCD, cardiovascular disease & GAD are the 5 leading contributors to #QALYs lost in the general population. Authors argue for prioritisation in #publichealth:
4/5 are #MentalHealth-related.

My 7 year old on holiday talking about his sister ‘I forgot she has cystic fibrosis yesterday’. How heartbreaking is this. He lives with the constant worry too. #PrecisionMedicine #Orkambi affects families too. Include their #QALYs & cost becomes a no-brainer @NHSEngland
