Abstract
The article discusses a study that examines the validity, sensitivity, and relative efficiency of 15D and SF-6D questionnaires in Spanish patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) to be used in cost-effectiveness analyses. Patients were recruited from different local PD associations. Non-parametric statistics were used for all analyses since data did not follow a normal distribution. Floor and ceiling effects are relevant to examine and compare the improvements of any treatment.
