Health-state valuations for pertussis: methods for valuing short-term health states

Table 6 Utilities based on alternative discount rates of 0%, 5%, and 10%, for (A) adolescents, adults, and (B) infants. Utilities were calculated assuming the maximum amount of time traded could not exceed the duration of the health state

Mean (SD) adolescent utilities for long-term TTO (N = 81)
0%	0.96 (0.06)	0.92 (0.09)	0.88 (0.10)	0.82 (0.13)	0.82 (0.14)

Mean (SD) adult utilities for long-term TTO (N = 56)
0%	0.99 (0.02)	0.97 (0.06)	0.93 (0.09)	0.88 (0.17)	0.88 (0.18)
