COVID-19-related health utility values and changes in COVID-19 patients and the general population: a scoping review
ConclusionsThis scoping review provides a summary of the health utility impact of COVID-19 and COVID-19 control policies. COVID-19-affected populations were reported to have poor health utility, while a high degree of heterogeneity was observed across studies. Population- and/or country-specific health utility is recommended for use in future economic evaluation on COVID-19-related interventions. (Source: Quality of Life Research)

Associations between the EQ-5D-5L and exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the ETHOS trial
ConclusionAn EQ-5D-5L disutility of 0.090 was associated with a current severe exacerbation in ETHOS. Our findings suggest incorporating the effects of current, recently resolved, and cumulative exacerbations into economic models when estimating benefits and costs of COPD pharmacotherapy, as exacerbations have both acute and persistent effects.

Danish value sets for the EORTC QLU-C10D utility instrument
ConclusionThe EORTC QLU-C10D is a relatively new multi-attribute utility instrument and is a promising cancer-specific health technology assessment candidate measure. The country-specific Danish utility weights from this study can be used for cost-utility analyses in Danish patients and for comparison with other country-specific utility data.

Individual differences in the long-term impact of the pandemic: moderators of COVID-related hardship, worry, and social support
ConclusionAt the aggregate level, COVID-specific stressors changed over the course of the pandemic, whereas depression and social-support resources seemed stable. However, deeper analysis revealed substantial individual differences. Cognitive-appraisal processes showed considerable variability across individuals and moderated the impact of COVID-specific stressors and resources over time. Future work is needed to investigate whether coaching individuals away from maladaptive cognitive-appraisal processes can reduce depression and lead to better overall well-being.
