OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to create a catalogue of SF-6D health state utility values in the cardiovascular diseases, based on studies conducted in Polish population using the SF-36 questionnaire. METHODS: Five databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Database, SCOPUS, Polish Medical Bibliography (Polska Bibliografia Lekarska; accessed on April 23, 2010) were systematically searched for SF-36 quality of life studies conducted in Polish cardiac patients. Only studies using original key answer and with published complete data for eight SF-36 dimensions were included. SF-6D utility scores were estimated based on SF-36 population data using the method published by Ara and Brazier in 2009. RESULTS: We initially identified 31 studies using SF-36 in Polish cardiac patients. In 14 studies proper SF-36 scoring algorithm was used and data for all eight domains were available. Data for 77 different health states related to five cardiac disorders were extracted: acute coronary syndrome, coronary artery disease, hypertension, atrial fibrillation and aortic valve disease. Each health state was described as value of 8 dimensions of quality of life and was converted to single-figure utility. Utility of acquired 77 health states ranged from 0.41 to 0.78. CONCLUSIONS: A catalogue of 77 health state utilities derived in Polish cardiac patients was estimated. It can be useful in pharmacoeconomic analyses conducted for cardiologic health technologies and should support reimbursement decision making in Poland.
