single condition. This can cause problems when populating health states in economic models which represent more than one
condition. Analysts use the mean utilities from the cohorts with the single conditions to estimate the mean utility for a cohort with
comorbidities. There is currently no consensus on which is the most appropriate method to combine these data and the different
techniques can produce very different results. OBJECTIVE: To compare the accuracy of different methods (minimum, multiplicative, additive, a linear regression) used to estimate
health state utility values for comorbid health conditions.
