Skirko JR, et al. - In this cohort study involving 500 candidates [mean (SD) age was 48.6 (12.8) years] with sleep apnea, researchers developed and validated a utility scoring algorithm for sleep apnea–specific quality-of-life instruments. According to results, the log-converted subscale scores built the best model, mapping the preference-weighted health state utility from the SF-6D to the Symptoms of Nocturnal Obstruction and Related Events (SNORE-25). In an independent sample, the association was maintained. In patients with obstructive sleep apnea, the preference-weighted scoring of the SNORE-25 could improve the accessibility and use of economic evaluations.
