A few weeks ago* I headed to Rome. EUROQOL General Assembly meeting. I arrived at the hotel at 6:30 am from 36 hours later. Train adventure Soon I got along with my old friends and reached a common daily life to discuss EQ-5D (et al.). The meeting includes a number of strategic discussions and business issues that EUROQOL members deal with. I will cherish them and focus on science programs that have been held for two days on September 20 and 21.
The EUROQOL General Meeting uses the HESG style debaters with a dictionary, but there are short sessions for discussions and most single sessions streams. Many papers are written by Euroqol members, but many guests and new immigrants. There are also more and more Euroqol PHD students who tend to be well -represented. This meeting was chairman Juanita haagsma and Nils gutackerExpert opinion on Proud Roman’s local issues Aureliano Finch. The EUROQOL BINGO game lasted for about 10 minutes as the speaker and the audience blasted all the clichés of ordinary ordinary.
The first day began with a collection of papers on the evaluation of the Euroqol instrument and opened as an abnormally hostile discussion. Pole and Ling-hsiang chuangThe paper has challenged Euroqol’s EQ-VT evaluation protocol. This is based on the time trade off (TTO) and DCE (DISCRETE CHOICE Experiments) data, but EQ-VT is the basis for requiring a combination. The discussion papers occurred in attempts to collect information in global evaluation research. In some ways, this kind of paper shows the Euro QOL General Assembly (sometimes existential and often terrible) of the basic matters that use EQ-5D to value health and support resource allocation. Benjamin CraigThe person who took it as an opportunity to go to the ax (the paper does not mention the discount).
In other papers that combine data from other evaluation research Edward Web The EQ-5D value set showed that over time, it was changed in terms of the relative value of other health areas. This suggests that the value set must have a deadline. The first session also started an OPUF tool, a continuous discussion on online extraction of personal utility functions. Throughout the meeting, the participants (sometimes with the tongue on the cheeks) presented ‘OPUF’ in response to all questions. This continued to the last word of the scientific program Bram RoudijkMIC-DOP statement: “OPUF is not a preference-based evaluation method.” eight!
Another topic of the meeting was a decoction, as in other meetings. LuckyThe papers of Malawi have published new qualitative research with children and teenagers in Malawi, exploring how to conceptualize health. This study gives the impression that the children participating are very smart (impressive in qualitative research with children), and our Europeans have argued that it may have been regarded as being regarded with the feeling of accepting the disease and not related to health. In other places in this program, there were some posters for Maori and other indigenous perspectives to health. There is an important question about the hegemony of the EQ-5D and the range and reach of the EUROQOL Group.
Research on Euroqol devices for children consists of many parts of the program. There was a full parallel session that I did not attend, which included some OHE colleagues using OPUF to explore the role of another point of view in the evaluation of the EQ-5D-y. We are in a crisis of the EQ-5D-Y-5L, which is the mainstream, and the EQ-TIPS device is improving new horizons for evaluating the health of infants. Especially interesting discussion papers Nancy deblin I explored how to approach the difficult task of evaluating the baby’s health.
A long -repetitive topic of Euroqol Plenaries is a study of a possible approach to expand the range of the Euroqol device (claim to be us). Bolt On is the longest (/bug beer), which includes a paper that explores the effects of nine bolt -ons. Almost always, this study showed the potential value of these bolts to understand more about the health of respondents. I went to a poster (I discussed) on a study that evaluated 20 bolt -ons. There are so many bolt on! The more innovative idea presented at the meeting was to ‘bolts’ the entire existing device. Brenden My colleagues explained the possible frameworks for doing this with an application for adult social welfare performance toolkit (ASCOT). Personally, I do not like ideas, but thank you for such a radical thought.
When we conduct health results research, we sometimes ask ourselves, “Where is the economy?” At this meeting, it was there Michał jakubczykThesis on average mathematics and moral philosophy (draft in latex). The proposal is simple. In order to support interpersonal comparison, it is necessary to take into account the geometric average of the utility value instead of arithmetic average. And the idea is old. Michał is based on the ideas presented in the QJE paper since 1971. I am convinced of the debate, but I am not yet fully understood. Nevertheless, I think that if we all surround our head over time, the geometric average will be adopted routinely in the aggregation of EQ-5D health.
In the clinical environment, there were many different quality things in the program, including a collection of papers and dashboards, but there was no power of the brain to effectively participate in everything. If you attend the EUROQOL General Assembly, one of the benefits of the offgram is the corridor chat, which allows you to find out what’s on the horizon in the Euro QOL world or behind the scenes. At this meeting there were many discussions on the UK EQ-5D-5L Value Set Study, which clearly completed data collection.
The low lights of the meeting are alive by insects used by suppliers of ‘itchy’ Bolt On. I also had the first experience of living memories that didn’t eat a plate of food provided to me. The burning pasta dishes are ominous (and must be).
This was a pleasant and valuable Euroqol General Assembly, and the first was to attend the EUROQOL member (I got covid on the first day of the last day). I was able to learn a lot and meet many new people. Sometimes the Euroqol meeting may look like a closed shop, but it doesn’t mean. Prepare your research so that you can submit it to the General Assembly in September 2024.
* Yes, it took time to post this. Because it hurts after meeting. After the meeting, the disease seems to be an increasing problem (at least for me). I want to see a study of it.
