Mapping the EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ H&N35 to the EQ-5D-5L and SF-6D for papillary thyroid carcinoma
Quality of Life Research(2024)
摘要
Purpose Empirical evidence for the EORTC QLQ C30 scale in thyroid cancer mapping algorithms has not been found in China, which limits the cost-utility analysis of patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) population. We developed mapping algorithms that use the EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ H&N35 to predict EQ-5D-5L and SF-6D health utility scores for PTC patients. Methods Data from 1050 Chinese PTC patients who completed the EORTC QLQ-C30, QLQ H&N35, EQ-5D-5L and SF-6D instruments were collected. Direct mapping (OLS, Tobit, Betamix) and indirect mapping functions (Order Probit) were used to estimate algorithms. The goodness-of-fit of mapping performance was assessed by MAE, RMSE, AIC, BIC, AE, and ICC. A fivefold cross-validation and random sample validation approach were used to test the stability of the models. Results The mean EQ-5D-5L and SF-6D utility scores were 0.8704 and 0.6368, respectively. We recommend the Betamix model for the EQ-5D-5L (MAE = 0.0363, RMSE = 0.0505, AIC = -3458.73, BIC = -3096.91, AE > 0.05(%) = 48.38, AE > 0.1(%) = 8.67, ICC = 0.8288 for the full sample dataset) and the Betamix model for the SF-6D (MAE = 0.0328, RMSE = 0.0417, AIC = -2788.91, BIC = -2605.51, AE > 0.05(%) = 42.76, AE > 0.1(%) = 3.62, ICC = 0.8657 for the full sample dataset), with EORTC QLQ-C30 all items, QLQ H&N35 all items, age and gender as the predicted variables showing the best performance. Conclusion In the absence of preference-based quality of life tools, the mapping algorithms reported here are effective alternative for predicting the health utility of PTC patients, contributing to the cost-utility analysis studies.
