Deriving the PedsUtil health state classification system to measure health utilities for pediatric populations based on the PedsQL: a confirmatory factor analysis
This study established the core dimension structure of the PedsUtil health state classification system using confirmatory factor analysis. The 7-dimension structure was found to be applicable across diverse pediatric populations. Research is currently ongoing to select the most representative item within each dimension of the PedsUtil health state classification system and valuation surveys will be fielded to estimate the PedsUtil scoring system.
