Health state utility values of osteoporotic fractures among Korean women

摘要: Objectives: This study aimed to investigate health state utility values in eight states related osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures using time trade-off (TTO) technique among postmenopausal Korean women.Methods: Scenarios describing including hip, vertebral, post-hip, post-vertebral, ankle, humerus, wrist were developed presented 500 female participants aged 45 59 years who selected with probability proportionate age group region for this investigation. Each valuation was derived the technique. Ten of a given traded off shorter length full health.Results: Mean scores each calculated. Osteoporosis scored highest (0.669 ± 0.155), followed by fracture (0.656 0.151). Hip (0.298 0.158) vertebral 0.160) found be worst states. Post-hip (0.446 0.159) post-vertebral (0.455 also considered undesirable All associated disutilities, ranging from mean -0.013 -0.371. These statistically significant (p < 0.0001). are most serious consequences fractures.Conclusions: The hip marked lowest post-menopausal women Korea.
