New NICE DSU report








New NICE DSU report reviewing the psychometric performance of a selection of child and adolescent preference-based measures: AQoL-6D, CHU9D, EQ-5D-Y, HUI2 and HUI3

The report is a review of available published evidence on the psychometric performance of a selection of child and adolescent-specific preference-based measures. From the current evidence, EQ-5D-Y has the largest amount of evidence of good psychometric performance in proportion to the number of studies that have examined its psychometric performance. The majority of the evidence related to EQ-5D-Y is based on dimensions. The CHU9D is assessed in fewer studies, but the majority of studies find evidence of good psychometric performance. The evidence for HUI2 and HUI3 are more mixed, and for AQoL-6D the evidence is based on only one study.
