Table 2: HRQoL and QALY weights in the model.
| Health state | HRQoL | QALY-weight in the model* | Source |
| Healthy | 1 | 1 | Assumption |
| Pertussis, level 1 | 0.67 | 0.9568 | [34,39] |
| Pertussis, level 2 | 0.58 | 0.9364 | [34,40] |
| Pertussis, level 3 | 0.51 | 0.9230 | [34,40] |
*Calculation: [HRQoL(ill)*(number of days ill) + HRQoL(healthy)*(365.25-number of days ill)]/365.25.
