Mapping To Estimate Utility Values from Non-Preference Based Outcome Measures

Mapping is the term used to refer to studies which estimate health state utility values from some non-preference based outcome measures. It is a practice commonly undertaken in HTA, most typically when clinical trials have not included any preference based instrument which would permit the estimation of QALYs in a cost-utility analysis.
