We conducted a microstudy to elicit health state descriptions and utility values, using the EuroQol instrument, from a sample of acutely ill inpatients on 5 wards at University College London Medical School. Most current work to date has elicited such descriptive and valuation data from random surveys of the general population. One problem with this is that most responders from the general population have not actually experienced the states being valued. Our goal was to ascertain whether there were any differences between the values given by inpatients and those of the general population. However, the small sample size of patients included in our feasibility study means our conclusions must remain tentative. Nevertheless, the results suggest that patients give higher values than the general population. We suggest that more research needs to be done eliciting values from patients.
我们进行了一项微观研究，使用欧洲五维度健康量表，从伦敦大学学院医学院5个病房的急性病住院患者样本中获取健康状态描述和效用值。迄今为止，大多数现有研究都是从普通人群的随机调查中获取此类描述性和估值数据。这样做的一个问题是，普通人群中的大多数受访者实际上并未经历过被评估的状态。我们的目标是确定住院患者给出的值与普通人群的值是否存在差异。然而，我们可行性研究中纳入的患者样本量较小，这意味着我们的结论必须保持暂定。尽管如此，结果表明患者给出的值高于普通人群。我们建议需要开展更多研究以从患者那里获取值。
