Quality of Life Impact of Varicella on Children and Their Families in the UK: The QoLPoX Study
This detailed prospective assessment of QoL loss from varicella found it to be 1.5-10× larger in children than used in previous economic assessments and quantified the QALY loss for both primary and secondary carers. These data have been used to parameterize new assessments of UK varicella vaccine cost utility.
