Prediction of Health Utility Scores in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis C Using the Chronic Liver Disease Questionnaire-Hepatitis C Version (CLDQ-HCV)

A number of linear models for mapping domains or items of CLDQ-HCV to SF-6D health utilities have been developed. The models have excellent accuracy at the group level. Predicted health utility scores can be used in further economic analyses involving patients with HCV.
