Abstract

Objective The aim of this study was to explore the impact of sociodemographic characteristics and illness experience on time trade-off (TTO)-based utility scores using data from the EQ-5D-5L Egyptian valuation study. Methods Data were from the Egyptian valuation study that was conducted using the adapted translated version of the EQ-VT to develop the Egyptian Tariff for the EQ-5D-5L based on preferences of the Egyptian population. Data were analysed using a series of univariate and multivariable censored linear regression models adjusted for severity of health states where the dependent variable was the TTO scores and the independent variables included age, sex, education, geographical region, dwelling, marital status, number of people in the household, employment status, having health insurance, number of chronic conditions, previous experience with illness, and self-rated health. Results Age, sex, education, marital status, dwelling, region of residence, health insurance and multimorbidity were significantly associated with health state valuations, while employment status, number of people in a household, religion, and previous experience with illness had non-significant associations. Conclusion Age, sex and marital status are the main determinants of health state valuation in the Egyptian population, a finding consistent with those from other countries. Knowing these factors will help tailor health services provided and improve patient-centered care.
