Rationale

Please answer the following questions by using the online survey on this page.

Table 1 presents different adverse health states by disability classes. Make a trade-off between avoiding these disabilities and acquiring one of the health impacts listed below. Use your current health status as a starting point for your reasoning. Choose the disease class identifier (0, I, II, III, IV, V, VI or VII) that best corresponds, in your opinion, to the health impact.

Table 1. Reference health states according to Menken et al (2000)[1]:

Disease class Severity weight Conditions
0 0.00 No symptoms
I 0.00-0.02 Vitiligo of face, otitis media episode, moderate anemia
II 0.02-0.12 Water diarrhea, severe sore throat, severe anemia
III 0.12-0.24 Radius fracture in a stiff cast, infertility, erectile dysfunction, rheumatoid arthritis, angina
IV 0.24-0.36 Below-the-knee amputation, deafness
V 0.36-0.50 Rectovaginal fistula, mild mental retardation, Down syndrome
VI 0.50-0.70 Unipolar major depression, blindness, paraplegia
VII 0.70-1.00 Active psychosis, dementia, severe migraine, quadriplegia
