The EQ-5D health states value set for Slovenia

The analysis exposed differences in average health state valuations across four health care programs among providers. Further data on patient-reported outcomes for more than a single year should be collected. On the basis of trend data, further analysis to determine the possible causes for differences should be conducted and the possibility to use this approach for measuring health care providers' performance and its use in contracting should be explored.

“…Each health state has five dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression). In the first part of the questionnaire, the respondents evaluate their health state in all five dimensions on the day of the interview (25). They also mark whether they feel better, worse or equal to how they felt in the last 12 months on average (25).…”

Introduction Family history (FH) is an important part of the patients’ medical history during preventive management at model family medicine practices (MFMP). It currently includes a one (or two) generational inquiry, predominately in terms of cardiovascular diseases, arterial hypertension, and diabetes, but not of other diseases with a probable genetic aetiology. Beside family history, no application-based algorithm is available to determine the risk level for specific chronic diseases in Slovenia. Methods A web application-based algorithm aimed at determining the risk level for selected monogenic and polygenic diseases will be developed. The data will be collected in MFMP; approximately 40 overall with a sample including healthy preventive examination attendees (approximately 1,000). Demographic data, a three-generational FH, a medical history of acquired and congenital risk factors for the selected diseases, and other important clinical factors will be documented. Results The results will be validated by a clinical genetic approach based on family pedigrees and the next-generation genetic sequencing method. After the risk of genetic diseases in the Slovenian population has been determined, clinical pathways for acting according to the assessed risk level will be prepared. Conclusion By means of a public health tool providing an assessment of family predisposition, a contribution to the effective identification of people at increased risk of the selected monogenic and polygenic diseases is expected, lessening a significant public health burden.

“…Bolniki so izpolnili tudi standardiziran vprašalnik EQ-5D za oceno zdravstvenega stanja, ki ga sestavlja pet kategorij: mobilnost, samooskrba, vsakodnevne dejavnosti, bolečine/slabo počutje, tesnoba/depresija (20). Vprašalnik je vseboval tudi podatke o kroničnih boleznih in rednosti jemanja zdravil.…”
