Psychometric properties of the EQ-5D-5L in Thai patients with chronic diseases

Abstract

The EQ-5D-5L was practical, reliable, valid, and responsive in Thai patients with chronic diseases.

Knowledge, Attitude, Practice (KAP) and Health Related Quality of Life of Priests with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Thailand

“…Out of all the HRQoL tools, we chose to use EQ-5D-5L in our study among diabetic monks since It is simple to use, provides sufficient responsiveness to changes in health states and relatively wide range of utility scores generated by this tool 9,[19][20][21] . In our study among diabetic monks, it was seen that the mean score of EQ-5D-5L was seen to be comparatively better than that of EQ-VAS with 0.89 and 0.71, respectively which means that 89.5% good health was reported by EQ-5D-5L, which is in accordance to a study among diabetic patients 10,22 . Focusing on the EQ-5D-5L index score, it was seen from our Table 8.…”

“…The index scores range from 0 to 1 representing worst health and best health respectively. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score was obtained by dividing the number on the scale by 100 resulting in a number between the range of 0 and 1 10 .…”

Disease activity and functional status associated with health‐related quality of life and patient‐acceptable symptom state in patients with psoriatic arthritis in Thailand: A cross‐sectional study

“…This user‐friendly tool has discrimination and responsiveness in PsA trials as well as valid psychometric properties in Thai patients with chronic disease. It is the recommended measure of HU in Thailand . Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS) is the overall patient‐perceived health state, subjective to their expectations and adaptation.…”

How much is enough? An investigation of the relationship between haemodialysis adequacy and quality of life of elderly patients

“…Cohen's d effect size was interpreted as follows: small (0.2), medium (0.5) or large (0.8) . A medium effect size on the EQ‐5D‐5L VAS has been previously reported to be medium …”

“…12 A medium effect size on the EQ-5D-5L VAS has been previously reported to be medium. 13,14 The questionnaires were administered by trained dialysis staff during the participants' midweek dialysis session. The participants were followed up for 3 months, and they had their routine monthly bloods and assessment of study outcomes performed during this period.…”
