Key Points

  • Investigate how health gains in children and adolescents compare to those in adults.
  • Conducted a person trade-off study to assess health gain values.
  • Evaluated differences based on child's age and type of health gain.
  • Considered adult comparison age in the analysis.
  • Child QALY gains are valued differently based on the child's age.
  • Strong preference for alleviating children's pain, with weights ≥ 1.2.
  • Overall opinions show a polarized view on age-based health gain prioritisation.

Abstract

The relative value of child QALY gains varies by age of the child, by health gain type, and by adult comparison age. While alleviating children's pain is strongly supported (weights ≥ 1.2), overall views are polarised, highlighting the complexity of age-based prioritisation.
