The Multi-Attribute Utility Instrument (MAUI) is currently a common method for health utility measurement. It converts scores from multiple dimensions of health status into a single utility value through the construction of utility value set,which is then used for the calculation of Quality-Adjusted Life Years (QALYs). Selecting an appropriate method for constructing the value set of MAUI is crucial for accurately measuring health utility values. The Multi-Attribute Utility Function (MAUF),as an important method for constructing the utility value set,has been widely applied internationally. It focuses on introducing the theoretical basis of the application of MAUF,the construction methods in different MAUI,and their application situations,aiming to provide references and insights for the methodological research on the construction of the utility value set for the MAUI in China.
