Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES
This study aimed to quantify the impact of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) on patient and patient's partner health-related quality of life in the form of utility values typically used in health economic evaluations.
METHODS
A time trade-off study was conducted in a UK general population sample (representing a societal perspective) to elicit utility values, measured on a 0 to 1 scale, for health states with varying obstructive sleep apnea-associated EDS severity. In a time trade-off study, health states are described, and participants "trade off" time in a specific higher severity state for a shorter amount of time in full health.
RESULTS
Overall, the sample consisted of 104 participants, who were interviewed and took part in the time trade-off exercise to elicit utility values for patient and partner residual EDS health states. The average utility score declined with increasing obstructive sleep apnea-associated EDS severity for both patient (no EDS, 0.926; mild EDS, 0.794; moderate EDS, 0.614; severe EDS, 0.546) and partner (no EDS, 0.955; mild EDS, 0.882; moderate EDS, 0.751; severe EDS, 0.670) health states.
CONCLUSIONS
These results demonstrate the high impact that EDS in obstructive sleep apnea is estimated to have on patient and partner health-related quality of life.
