Negligible ICER impact despite EQ-5D score differences; leaves generalizability to other interventions open.
Does the use of the U.S. scoring algorithm for EQ-5D compared to the U.K. algorithm affect the incremental cost-utility ratio in an economic evaluation of cardiac care?
Although the U.S. and U.K. EQ-5D scoring algorithms produce notable differences in individual utility scores, their impact on the incremental cost-utility ratio in an economic evaluation of PCI is negligible.
