这是对健康效用指数 (HUI®) 多属性健康状况分类系统以及单属性和多属性效用评分系统的回顾。 HUI 指的是 HUI Mark 2 (HUI2) 和 HUI Mark 3 (HUI3) 仪器。分类系统提供了紧凑但全面的框架来描述健康状况。多属性效用函数提供了计算分类系统定义的每种健康状态的健康相关生活质量 (HRQL) 的单一汇总分数所需的所有信息。说明了 HUI 在许多国家针对各种病症的临床研究中的应用。 HUI 为临床研究中的受试者提供全面、可靠、反应灵敏且有效的健康状况和 HRQL 测量。患者整体 HRQL 的效用评分也用于成本效用和成本效益分析。人口常模数据可从许多大型一般人口调查中获得。 HUI 的广泛使用有助于结果的解释，并允许在地方、国家和国际层面上比较疾病和治疗结果以及长期后遗症。
This is a review of the Health Utilities Index (HUI®) multi-attribute health-status classification systems, and single- and multi-attribute utility scoring systems. HUI refers to both HUI Mark 2 (HUI2) and HUI Mark 3 (HUI3) instruments. The classification systems provide compact but comprehensive frameworks within which to describe health status. The multi-attribute utility functions provide all the information required to calculate single-summary scores of health-related quality of life (HRQL) for each health state defined by the classification systems. The use of HUI in clinical studies for a wide variety of conditions in a large number of countries is illustrated. HUI provides comprehensive, reliable, responsive and valid measures of health status and HRQL for subjects in clinical studies. Utility scores of overall HRQL for patients are also used in cost-utility and cost-effectiveness analyses. Population norm data are available from numerous large general population surveys. The widespread use of HUI facilitates the interpretation of results and permits comparisons of disease and treatment outcomes, and comparisons of long-term sequelae at the local, national and international levels.
