      EQ-5D-5L and Advanced Multi-Criteria Techniques.

AB  - This paper presented a new approach to the calculation of quality-adjusted life 
      years (QALY) based on multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods and using the 
      EQ-5D-5L questionnaire. The health status utility values were calculated through 
      a hybrid methodology. We combined the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), the AHP 
      with a D-number extended fuzzy preference relation (D-AHP), the fuzzy analytic 
      hierarchy process (F-AHP), and the technique for order preference by similarity 
      to the ideal solution (TOPSIS) to obtain individual and aggregated utility 
      values. The preference data were elicited using a sample of individuals from a 
      Colombian university. In all tested methods, the ordinal preferences were 
      consistent, and the weights were compared using the Euclidean distance criterion 
      (EDC). We identified F-AHP-TOPSIS as the optimal method; its benefits were 
      associated with modeling the response options of the EQ-5D in linguistic terms, 
      it gave the best approximation to the initial preferences according to EDC, and 
      it could be used as an alternative to the known prioritization method. This 
      hybrid methodology was particularly useful in certain medical decisions concerned 
      with understanding how a specific person values his or her current health or 
      possible health outcomes from different interventions in small population samples 
      and studies carried out in low- and middle-low-income countries.
