          Abstract

          Abstract This study aimed to explain a joint statistical procedure (two-part models and Cholesky decomposition) to incorporate second-order uncertainty from covariate adjusted mean utility functions in probabilistic costeffectiveness models. First, two-part models were applied to obtain parameters for the utility function. Second, a new set of correlated parameters for each simulation was obtained by Cholesky decomposition. The procedure was applied to EuroQol5D-5L in the Spanish Health Survey (21,007 adults). An example for the first simulation showed that 71% of men aged 60 years, high social status and normal weight were in perfect health, and in those not in perfect health, the expected utility was 0.8474 (= 1 -0.1526). Therefore, their estimated mean utility value was 0.9559. Mean utility values in the interval (-∞1] were calculated and their associated uncertainty incorporated in the cost-effectiveness models, based on the uncertainty related to correlated parameters in the utilities function.

          Resumen El objetivo de este estudio fue explicar el procedimiento estadístico conjunto (modelos en dos etapas y descomposición de Cholesky) para incorporar la incertidumbre de segundo orden asociada a la función de utilidad media ajustada por variables en los modelos probabilísticos de coste-efectividad. Primero se aplicaron los modelos en dos etapas para obtener los parámetros de la función de utilidad. Segundo, para cada simulación, se obtuvo un nuevo conjunto de parámetros correlacionados utilizando la descomposición de Cholesky. El procedimiento se aplicó al cuestionario EuroQol5D-5L de la Encuesta Nacional de Salud en España (21.007 adultos). El ejemplo de una primera simulación mostró que el 71% de los hombres de 60 años, con clase social alta y peso normal tenían una salud perfecta, y en aquellos que no tenían una salud perfecta la utilidad esperada fue de 0,8474 (= 1 - 0,1526). Por lo tanto, su utilidad media estimada fue de 0,9559. Se calcularon utilidades medias con valores comprendidos en el intervalo (-∞1] y se incorporó la incertidumbre asociada a ellos en los modelos de coste-efectividad, basándose en la incertidumbre correspondiente a los parámetros correlacionados de la función de utilidad.

          Handling Data Quality Issues to Estimate the Spanish EQ-5D-5L Value Set Using a Hybrid Interval Regression Approach.

          The Spanish five-level EuroQol five-dimensional questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) valuation study was the first to use the EuroQol Valuation Technology protocol, including composite time trade-off (C-TTO) and discrete choice experiments (DCE). In this study, its investigators noticed that some interviewers did not fully explain the C-TTO task to respondents. Evidence from a follow-up study in 2014 confirmed that when interviewers followed the protocol, the distribution of C-TTO responses widened.

            Analysis of data with excess zeros.

            This paper is an introduction to a set of papers on two-part models that were presented at the 2000 Joint Statistical Meetings of American Statistical Association, International Biometric Society (ENAR), International Biometric Society (WNAR), Institute of Mathematical Statistics, and Statistical Society of Canada. The second part of the paper summarizes results of a study of the size and power of two-part models. It proposes that two-part models are a useful alternative to the t-test and the Wilcoxon test.
