Dynamic evaluation of criteria of the health-relatad quality of life on the base of the hierarchies analysis method

A method for studying the dynamics of the main criteria of the health-related quality of life (HRQoL), based on the hierarchies analysis method (HAM) of T. Saaty is being developed. It is assumed that the assessments of HRQoL scales (criteria) according to existing specific and non-specific questionnaires change over time, which also leads to a change in the degree of their influence on each other. This, in turn, changes the integral indicators of HRQoL. There is a need to work with tables of dynamic judgments based on HAM using different classes of time functions, considering the specifics of the task and HRQoL criteria. The paper proposes a new methodology for estimating HRQoL, taking into account the dynamics of the main characteristics of HAM.
