Difference in QALY for intervention and control buildings

Intervention building residents vs control building residents

Bootstrap probabilistic sensitivity analysis: adjusted* QALY (QALY, regression adjusted for baseline utility score and building pairing)0.74 (0.09)0.71 (0.09)0.03† (0.01 to 0.05)
  • *Intervention and control EQ-5D index scores were found to be significantly different at baseline, despite randomisation, therefore baseline differences were accounted for by adjustment using regression.

  • †p<0.05.

  • QALY, quality-adjusted life year.
