Utility Theory and Health Status measurement: the Debate QALYs vs HYEs by Claude Le Pen A vigorous debate has recently opposed int the field on the economic assessment of medical technologies two methods to value health states : the "Quality Adjusted Life Years" (QALYs) and the "Healthy Years Equivalents" (HYEs). For a given health state, the QALYs are defined as the sum of life years allowed in a définie health state, each year being weighted by a coefficient, which reflects the utility of is "quality". The coefficient value varies between 0 and 1, 0 being attached to the worse quality and 1 to the best. This indicator, whose simplicity and intuitive appeal certainly explain the great success, faces nevertheless serious theoretical probe...
