Correct.
This investigation used measures for probabilities, utilities
and life-expectancies. Combining these measures results in a calculation
of what is known as Quality Adjusted Life-Expectancy or QALYs. This
is done for two options that are then compared. Thus this investigation
is a Quality Adjusted Life-Expectancy study or a QALY study.
