Objective: Assess the relationship between migraine frequency and health utility.Methods: Patients aged >= 18 years diagnosed with episodic migraine were enrolled at three US sites representing varied models of health-care delivery. All subjects completed a questionnaire that included demographic and clinical information, a migraine-specific disability questionnaire, and the Health Utilities Index Mark 3 (HUI3). The HUI3 is a generic health status and health-related quality-of-life measure. HUI3 health status data are translated into utility scores anchored by 0 (dead) and 1 (perfect health).Results: The study enrolled 150 patients. The mean age was 44 years and 87% were female. Mean (+/- SD) monthly migraine frequency was 4.4 +/- 3.6, with 34% reporting 6 migraines per month. The mean (+/- SD) HUI3 score was 0.62 +/- 0.26. After controlling for study center, demographics, comorbidities, migraine characteristics, and level of migraine disruptiveness, migraine frequency was found to be significantly (P < 0.05) and negatively associated with HUI3 scores. Subjects with > 6 migraines per month had an adjusted mean HUI3 score of 0.41; the corresponding mean for those reporting
