Reference states differ. DALYs reference "full health"; QALYs allow negative values for "worse than death."
Only the the QALY framework allow worse-than-dead health states. We should not dismiss QALY from the conversion approach entirely: the QALY weight 0 = 'being dead' is a theoretically sensible anchor for the currently missing 'neutral point' in the 0-10 WELLBY scale
