Health Utilities in Alzheimer's Disease: A Survey of US Patients and Caregivers

Our findings showed that health utilities decreased with AD severity, with lower utilities observed in nursing home residents versus community patients. Caregivers of nursing home patients with AD reported higher utilities than those caring for community-dwelling patients. Our results contribute to improving AD economic evaluations by reflecting more contemporary populations and facilitating value assessments of novel therapies that delay the progression from MCI to more severe disease stages.
