Current cost-effectiveness models of heat and moisture exchangers (HMEs) for laryngectomized patients, do not consider the potential changes in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) due to reduced cough and sputum symptoms and impact. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the Cough and Sputum Assessment Questionnaire (CASA-Q) can be used to identify health states that distinguish in HRQoL, or utility, for cost-effectiveness models.
