Background.
The treatment of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is costly, and limited resources call for analyses of the cost effectiveness of therapeutic interventions.
The present study evaluated the equivalency of the Short Form 6D (SF-6D) and the Euro QoL (EQ-5D), two preference-based HRQoL instruments that are broadly used in cost-effectiveness analyses, in an unselected IBD patient population.
Methods.
IBD patients from seven European countries were invited to a follow-up visit ten years after their initial diagnosis.
Clinical and demographic data were assessed, and the Short Form 36 (SF-36) was employed.
Utility scores were obtained by calculating the SF-6D index values from the SF-36 data for comparison with the scores obtained with the EQ-5D questionnaire.
Results.
The SF-6D and EQ-5D provided good sensitivities for detecting disease activity-dependent utility differences.
However, the single-measure intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.58, and the Bland-Altman plot indicated numerous values beyond the limits of agreement.
Conclusions.
There was poor agreement between the measures retrieved from the EQ-5D and the SF-6D utility instruments.
Although both instruments may provide good sensitivity for the detection of disease activity-dependent utility differences, the instruments cannot be used interchangeably.
Cost-utility analyses performed with only one utility instrument must be interpreted with caution.
