UTILITY OF HEALTH STATE INDEX IN PEDIATRICS FOR THE EVALUATION OF EFFECTIVENESS OF MEDICAL INTERVENTIONS
Abstract
So-called dynamical studies of health state including ?models of health status indexes? are actively performed in public health. Quality adjusted life year (QALY) is universal index of the result of treatment, and it can be used in estimation of all age groups and nosologic forms, it allows comparison between different diseases, strategies of health care and outcomes. Development of methods of QALY receipt in pediatrics is able to widen our opportunities and to improve an evaluation of effectiveness of treatment and prophylactic interventions. These measures may influence to the choice of more significant medical technologies for the treatment of diseases.
Key words: quality adjusted life year, children, result of intervention, quality of life related to health.
