Objective  To systematically review the health utility scores for patients with breast cancer in China. Methods  PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, WanFang Data, CBM and VIP databases were searched from inception to November, 2016 to collect studies for health utility scores for breast cancer in China. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Meta-analysis was performed using Stata 12.0 software. Results  A total of 6 studies were included. Compared with modeling studies, the range of utility scores from cross-sectional studies was narrower. The results of meta-analysis showed the utility scores for breast cancer were 0.77 (95%CI 0.67 to 0.87), 0.77 (95%CI 0.68 to 0.86) at stage 0 to Ⅰ, 0.76 (95%CI 0.66 to 0.85) at stage Ⅱ, 0.74 (95%CI 0.65 to 0.83) at stage Ⅲ and 0.73 (95%CI 0.65 to 0.81) at stage Ⅳ, respectively. Meanwhile, we descripted the median of utility scores of all studies, and the corresponding values were 0.81 (range 0.65 to 0.83), 0.82 (range 0.65 to 1.00) at stage 0, 0.82 (range 0.65 to 0.90) at stage Ⅰ, 0.77 (range 0.67 to 0.86) at stage Ⅱ, 0.70 (range 0.64 to 0.82) at stage Ⅲ and 0.70 (range 0.30 to 0.80) at stage Ⅳ, respectively. Conclusion  Research on the health utility scores of breast cancer is still limited in China. Utility scores are decreasing among different clinical stages, with lowest score at late stage cancer. These findings can be used in further cost-utility evaluation on various breast cancer interventions.
