Health-Related Quality of Life in Migraine: EQ-5D-5L-Based Study in Routine Clinical Practice

“…The control group (n = 100), matched for sex and age group, was created based on the results of the population norms study for the EQ-5D-5L in the general population of Poland (N = 3963) [ 34 , 35 , 36 ]. Each patient was assigned a virtual respondent from the general population matched in terms of sex and age group (seven age groups were distinguished: 18–24, 25–34, 35–44, 45–54, 55–64, 65–74, and 75+ years).…”

The results of the quality of life of virtual patients from the control group were the mean values for a given sex and a given age group published in [ 34 ] (distribution of limitations within the EQ-5D-5L dimensions), [ 35 ] (mean EQ-5D-5L Index value) and [ 36 ] (the mean EQ VAS score).…”
