---|---|---|
CONDITION | CALCULATION | VALUE OF QALY |
 | 1. Mean WTP to avoid 12-month S = £1870 |  |
Stomach | 2. Average QALY benefit = 0.104 | £17,980 |
 | Divide 1. by 2. |  |
 | 1. Mean WTP to avoid 12-month H = £3250 |  |
Head | 2. Average QALY benefit = 0.144 | £22,570 |
 | Divide 1. by 2. |  |
Using 3-month (mean) WTP value and (mean) standard QALY index: | ||
CONDITION | CALCULATION | VALUE OF QALY |
 | 1. Mean WTP to avoid 3-month S = £810 |  |
Stomach | 2. Average QALY benefit = 0.026 | £31,150 |
 | Divide 1. by 2. |  |
 | 1. Mean WTP to avoid 3-month H = £1495 |  |
Head | 2. Average QALY benefit = 0.036 | £41,530 |
 | Divide 1. by 2. |  |
Using 12-month (median) WTP value and (median) standard QALY index: | ||
CONDITION | CALCULATION | VALUE OF QALY |
 | 1. Median WTP to avoid 12-month S = £500 |  |
Stomach | 2. Median QALY benefit = 0.025 | £20,000 |
 | Divide 1. by 2. |  |
 | 1. Median WTP avoid 12-month H = £1000 |  |
Head | 2. Median QALY benefit = 0.025 | £40,000 |
 | Divide 1. by 2. |  |
