| Abstract |
Different variants of time trade-off (TTO) have been employed to elicit health state preferences and to create value sets for preference-based instruments. We compared composite TTO (cTTO) with traditional TTO (tTTO) in valuing severe EQ-5D-5L health states. cTTO uses tTTO to elicit values for health states better than dead and the lead-time TTO for states worse than dead. Eighteen severe states were valued using both cTTO and tTTO. Participants meeting predefined inconsistency criteria were excluded from the analyses. Histograms were used to examine the distributions of cTTO and tTTO values. Mean difference between the cTTO and tTTO values was calculated. Bland-Altman plots were used to examine the agreement between the cTTO and tTTO values for each health state. We used a logistic mixed effects model with random intercepts to identify variables that were associated with the directional change between the two TTO values. A total of 1024 participants were included in the analysis with the mean age (SD) being 47.1 (17.4) years and 54.9 % female. For cTTO, 25 % of the values clustered at zero and there were few values between 0 and -0.5. In contrast, tTTO had fewer values at zero and more falling between -0.5 and 0. The distribution of positive values was similar between cTTO and tTTO. For worse than dead health states, the cTTO values tended to be higher than the tTTO values. In the logistic mixed effects model, those who did not agree that it was easy to understand the cTTO questions more likely changed from positive values in cTTO to zero or negative values in tTTO or change from zero cTTO values to negative values in tTTO compared with those who agreed (odds ratio 1.314, p = 0.037). cTTO is an appealing technique in eliciting health state preferences, but further evidence is needed for its performance in valuing EQ-5D health states on a wide spectrum of health state severity. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 February 2016.
All research outputs
#18,439,846
of 22,846,662 outputs
Outputs from Quality of Life Research
#1,998
of 2,846 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#290,774
of 400,824 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Quality of Life Research
#31
of 48 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,846,662 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,846 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.6. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 400,824 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 48 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
