  1. Note: Chronic diseases were defined with the Korean Standard Classification of Diseases 6th edition (KCD-6). The EQ-VAS values were divided by 100. The EQ-5D general population TTO tariffs were taken from the study by Lee et al. (2009) [26] for South Korea and from the Euroqol group EQ-5D value sets for the UK and Japan [31]
