| Abstract | Preference-based measures of health-related quality of life (HRQL) focus on choice and strength of preference for health outcomes. If the value people attach to the health improvement they receive from medical treatments for asthma is known, preference-based measures can be used in cost-effectiveness analyses to aid resource allocation decisions. International guidelines have been developed to guide medical management according to asthma severity defined by lung function and symptom frequency. |
