Abstract

Background In Belgium, a value set for children and adolescents for a generic health-related quality-of-life measure is not available. To inform drug pricing and make resource allocation decisions for children and adolescents, national tax-payers’ preferences for youth health states should be known. Objective We aimed to obtain a value set for EQ-5D-Y-3L in Belgium, following the international youth valuation protocol for data collection. Methods Composite Time Trade-Off interviews were conducted in a sample of 200 adults, either face to face or via video conferencing. Another sample of 1000 adults completed an online discrete choice experiment survey. All adults were asked to take the perspective of a 10-year-old child for both methods. Both samples were representative for Belgium in terms of age, sex and region. A latent class analysis was selected to obtain the relative importance of the five dimensions and their levels based on the discrete choice experiment data, which were anchored with the composite Time Trade-Off censored value for the worst health state (33333). Results Preferences from Belgian adults revealed a mean censored value for 33333 for children and adolescents of − 0.475. All the estimated coefficients of the model with 4 latent classes were statistically significant and showed higher disutility as severity levels increase. The most important health dimension was pain/discomfort, followed by feeling sad/worried/unhappy. Conclusions This study presents the Belgian EQ-5D-Y-3L value set, which will be included in the Belgian pharmacoeconomic guidelines. The value set enables the calculation of quality-adjusted life-years in children and adolescents, allowing a cost-effectiveness evaluation of health technologies and their youth-specific price setting.
