But there’s more…

Hidden within the doc, I found this comment:

“More typically, in standard HMT Green Book appraisal… QALYs are given a societal value of £70,000”.

Given the wider impact on society that Covid has, would it not be more appropriate to use this QALY figure?

'This sham inquiry is achieving nothing apart from protecting reputations and lining lawyers pockets.

The single most revealing exchange in the Covid Inquiry took place on Monday. Rishi Sunak highlighted a study that suggested more quality adjusted life years (QALYs) would be

Hey Jim where's the forex repo on the Shrimp Qalys/Human Qalys pair at?

REVIVED cost effectiveness analysis:
➡️ PCI was associated with minimal difference in QALYs + considerable incremental cost
➡️ Probability of PCI being cost effective = 0
➡️ A strategy of PCI for ILVD is not a justifiable use of healthcare resource

Oakland soda tax effected in 26.8% drop in purchases of🥤 #SSB sugar-sweetened beverages. Such effect will help tackle #diabetes , halt #obesity and prevent other non-communicable conditions #NCDs . Over 10 years #tax will add 94 QALYs and save more than $100K per 10,000 residents

Proud to be a small part of this team, lead by Ryan Coute, documenting the impact of #OHCA among pediatrics. The largest impact in QALYs saved comes from each successful resuscitation in this group.

I believe it’s right to give credit where it’s due. Sunak defended his position well at the Covid inquiry. The most revealing moment was when Hugo Keith KC rapidly deflected the PMs observations on the lockdown’s impact on QALYs.

The inquiry just won’t go there…

I wonder why?

Including carer outcomes in economic evaluation is important & can reveal unrecognised challenges in HTA decisions.

One of these is where patient & carer QALYs point in different directions - work led by David Mott and colleagues Office of Health Economics Health Economics Unit, Birmingham
