前列腺癌治疗有积极和消极的结果，在决定如何进行患者护理时必须考虑这些结果。在这种情况下，一种快速确定患者偏好的方法是确定他们在不同健康状态下的健康效用。卫生事业没有得到充分利用，但在帮助患者和医生共同决策方面却是强大的工具。这篇综述旨在让医生了解可用的不同技术，帮助医生在这些技术中进行选择，并通过表格参考的方式帮助初步开发用于临床的实用工具。提供了卫生实用工具的简要历史、应用概述和当前方向，并收集了参考文献，以增加读者对卫生实用工具的总体知识，并鼓励他们在临床上使用。归根结底，使用和选择这些基于偏好的直接措施之一取决于医生的需求。
Prostate cancer treatments have positive and negative outcomes that must be taken into account when deciding how to proceed with a patient's care. One way to quickly determine a patient's preferences in this situation is to ascertain their health utilities for various health states. Health utilities are underutilized but powerful tools in aiding shared decision making between patients and physicians. This review is intended to inform physicians about the different techniques available, help the physician choose among them, and aid initial development of utilities for use in the clinic by way of the tables' references. A brief history, summary of applications and current directions of health utilities, and collection of references are provided to increase the reader's overall knowledge of health utilities and encourage their use in the clinic. Ultimately, the use and choice of one of these direct preference-based measures depends on the needs of the physician.
