Health benefits resulting from preventive or curative interventions may be valued in terms of gained personal utility (improved quality of life) for the individuals concerned. These personal utility gains may be aggregated over time by weighting each affected year of life by the size of the utility gain in that year and adding the weighted years to...
A question raised by many over the last 15 years is whether health benefits valued in this manner adequately represent the way society values health benefits across different groups of people. Three particularly salient ethical problems have been identified, related to the fact that the QALY approach focuses wholly on quantifying utility gains, wit...
A solution to the first 2 of these problems is to expand conventional QALY calculations by introducing equity weights to capture differences in illness severity (ie, employ an independent-concern-for-severity approach) and reduce discrimination against those with a lesser capacity to benefit.3 Another solution is to do an appropriate mathematical t...
British health economist Alan Williams has argued that, rather than introducing concerns for severity into QALY calculations, one should consider lifetime health, so that QALYs for people who have already had a reasonable number of life years and health—which Williams calls "fair innings"—should count less than QALYs for people who are looking at b...

Feb 20, 2009 · In quantitative population preference studies (e.g., by Peter Ubel et al. in the United States, Jeff Richardson in Australia, Paul Dolan et al. in the United Kingdom, Erik Nord in Norway), QALY gains to severely ill groups have been weighted two to 10 times more highly than gains to less severely ill groups (see reviews in 18, 19).
