FACT-LUI

Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Lung Utility Index

A preference-based multi-attribute utility instrument which converts FACT-L scores to utilities

Overview

Overview

Not intended for use as a standalone HRQL measure, the FACT-LUI is a preference-based multi-attribute utility instrument (MAUI) which converts FACT-L scores to utilities. The items from the FACT-L have been reduced to a smaller number for preference-based valuation techniques, resulting in 7 dimensions: fatigue, cough, shortness of breath, anxiety, nausea/appetite loss, depression and pain. These 7 dimensions are common to non-small cell lung cancer patients.

Licensing

Because the FACT-LUI is a preference-based measure for economic evaluation rather than a standalone outcome measure like other FACIT measures, specific approval should be obtained from FACIT.org before developing value sets for any new countries. Please contact us for more details.
