Mean clinician estimates were higher than patient reported utility (0.60 vs 0.54; p = 0.008), with significant underestimation of reported problems apparent in three of the five EQ-5D-5L domains. Patient sex (female), depressed mood and frailty were all associated with an increased inter-rater gap.Conclusion: Clinicians in this sample overestimated HRQoL. Factors affecting the inter-rater gap, including sex and depression, support formal HRQoL screening to enhance clinical conversations and decision making. The discrepancy also supports regulatory restriction on the use of expert opinion in the development of QALYs in health economic analysis.]]> Tue 15 Nov 2022 12:55:55 AEDT ]]> Facilitating needs-based support and palliative care for people with chronic heart failure: preliminary evidence for the acceptability, inter-rater reliability, and validity of a needs assessment tool https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20126 Fri 10 Mar 2023 18:52:55 AEDT ]]>
