To respond to the 'quality assurance' of the EQ-5D-5L value set for England study.
We provide a point-by-point response to the issues raised by the authors of the quality assurance paper, drawing on theoretical arguments, empirical analyses and practical considerations.
We provide evidence to show that many of the points made by the authors of the quality assurance are misleading, suggest misunderstandings, or are irrelevant.
The modeling approaches which were used appropriately address the characteristics of the data and provide a reasonable representation of the average stated preferences of general public in England. We provide reflections on the conduct of stated preference studies, and suggestions for the way forward.

我们提供的证据表明,质量保证文件作者提出的许多观点具有误导性、表明存在误解或不相关。
所使用的建模方法适当地处理了数据的特征,并对英格兰普通公众的平均表述偏好进行了合理的表述。我们对表述偏好研究的进行进行了反思,并提出了前进的方向。
