Correct.
This investigator calculated the product of probabilities
times utilities and thus calculated what is call expected utilities
or probability adjusted for quality of health as measured by utilities.
Thus this is an expected utility study. It is a form of decision
making investigation that measures effectiveness but not costs and
does not overtly take into account life expectancy.
