Question
A student is trying to calculate the QALY loss associated with a 75 year old mna suffering permanent hearing loss. She knows that the average life expectancy of men is 82 years old, and that from EQSD studies hearing loss leads to a quality of life that is 80% of the norm. She calculates the total loss as 0.8 x 7= 5.6 QALYS.
Identify 3 errors that the student has made in their calculations and explain how these should be corrected.
Thank you!
