indice groupe santé = Health Index  (litterally : Index of the healthy group)
indice prix médicament = Price Index figure of medication  (litterally

Just in case IGS is an abbreviation for "Indice général de santé"
(i.e. "général" and not "groupe") the English equivalent would be
"Health Utility Index".

"Sauf dans le cas de l'Indice général de santé (IGS), aucune
imputation n'a été effectuée":

"With the exception of the Health Utility Index (HUI), no imputation
was performed":
