However, this does not mean that general public values should not be reflected in utilities derived for coverage decision making.
This behaviour can cause researchers who fail to model attention allocation to estimate incorrectly the marginal utilities derived from selected attributes.
In both studies, utilities derived from parents were similar in magnitude.
The scoring formulae are based on SG utilities derived mainly from power conversions of VAS scores.
Uncertainties in health utilities derived from mapping algorithm tend to be underestimated.
Thus, there is a systematic difference in utilities derived from SG and TTO.
Another solution is to use utilities derived from an adult population.
The hypothetical utilities derived from these subjects are somewhere between a population and patient perspective.
As noted previously, the utilities derived from EQ-5D scores are based on lay values.
In another study [ 59], utilities derived from paediatricians (mean: 0.93) were higher than those derived from parents (mean: 0.80).
Utilities derived by the Nichol's method were higher than SF-6D scores, often by more than 0.1.
