The SF-6Dv2® Health Utility Survey is a new stand-alone survey that uses only six questions to derive the SF-6Dv2 heath utility score. The SF-6Dv2 health utility score improves upon the SF-6D® by describing more distinct levels of health, using clearer wording for health state valuation and providing a broader range of health utility scores. The SF-6Dv2 Health Utility Survey provides a single health utility score that can be used in economic evaluation studies.
In pharmacoeconomics, health utility scores are often used to compare the overall benefit of one pharmaceutical drug or therapy to another (or the status quo). The SF-6Dv2 health utility score can be derived from the standalone SF-6Dv2 Health Utility Survey or from the SF-36v2® Health Survey.
