Outline of Final Research Achievements

The research achievement is divided into two major points. The first is to develop an evaluation tool for QOL value that can be used for cost-effectiveness assessment for medical technology, and examined its reliability and validity. The QOL value was measured using the EQ-5D-5L for cancer diseases such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, head and neck cancer, brain tumor, stroke, orthopedic disease, kidney disease, respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease. In addition, for EQ-5D-5L, a proxy version that the agent can measure on behalf of the patient himself has been developed. In the second study, we created a QOL value database within the Center for Health Economics and QOL Research, and reviewed and compiled papers on QOL values that were surveyed in Japan.
