To overcome the shortcomings of the QALY [quality-adjusted life year]... propose a measure which does not constrain the relationship between quality and quantity and claim that it truly reflects a person's preferences over quantity and quality of life while retaining the intuitive appeal of the concept of the year in full health.... it is more consistent with EUT [expected utility theory] and hence with individuals’ preferences. To distinguish it from the QALY they have named their new measure the healthy year equivalent(HYE). It involves the valuation of whole health profiles, which vary in terms of the sequence and duration of health states. This is a more general measure of preferences than the QALY since it makes fewer assumptions.  5, record 1, English, - healthy%2Dyear%20equivalent

The person-trade-off approach is the very essence of the saved-young-life equivalent (SAVE) procedure, which has been proposed as an alternative to the QALY procedure. Saving a young person from dying and restoring him or her to a healthy life is chosen as a reference outcome. This outcome is assigned the value 1. Other outcomes are described in terms of a) how severely ill the patients are before treatment and b) how much they are helped. People are asked to compare pairs of outcomes in terms of equivalence of numbers of people heated. This establishes the person trade-offs in terms of value in a direct way. Outcomes rather than health states are then assigned values on a 0-1 scale such as to encapsulate the observed trade-offs.  2, record 2, English, - saved%20young%20life%20equivalent
