“…The WHO defines health as "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity" [16]. This definition was influential in the development of the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form family of measures (such as the SF-36 [17]) and the EQ-5D [18](p. 1). Key aspects of the WHO definition are the inclusion of social well-being and the emphasis on more than the absence of disease.…”

Health, Health-Related Quality of Life, and Quality of Life: What is the Difference?

The terms health, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and quality of life (QoL) are often used interchangeably. Given that these are three key terms in the literature, their appropriate and clear use is important. This paper reviews the history and definitions of the terms and considers how the terms have been used. It is argued that the definitions of HRQoL in the literature are problematic because some definitions fail to distinguish between HRQoL and health or between HRQoL and QoL. Many so-called HRQoL questionnaires actually measure self-perceived health status and the use of the phrase QoL is unjustified. It is concluded that the concept of HRQoL as used now is confusing. A potential solution is to define HRQoL as the way health is empirically estimated to affect QoL or use the term to only signify the utility associated with a health state. Key points for decision makers-The term HRQoL is not well defined and most definitions of HRQoL do not sufficiently differentiate the term from health or QoL -Measures of HRQoL are usually more appropriately named measures of selfperceived health status -A clearer use of HRQoL would be to only use it to signify empirical studies of how health affects QoL or to signify the utility associated with a health state Acknowledgement JB proposed initial ideas and paper structure, MK wrote the first and the revised drafts after discussion with JB. JB made comments and revisions on all drafts. Both JB and MK responded to comments from referees.

“…studies have been registered [192]. Nevertheless, no sort order, such as ICD groups or individual diagnoses, is given for the total number of registrations, that hampers to produce a meaningful comparison with our data [192].…”

Increasing use of EQ-5D is observed throughout CEE. The spread of health technology assessment activities in countries seems to be reflected in the number of EQ-5D studies. However, improvement in informed use and methodological quality of reporting is needed. In jurisdictions where no national value set is available, in order to ensure comparability we recommend to apply the most frequently used UK tariff. Regional collaboration between CEE countries should be strengthened.

“…Preference-based measures include the EuroQoL EQ-5D-3L [8], the Quality of Well-Being Scale [9], the SF-6D [10], and the Health Utilities Index Mark 3 (HUI-3) [11]. Although each of these health indexes provides valuations on a 0 (dead) to 1 (perfect health/best imaginable health) scale (3 of the 4 indexes include health states rated less than 0), they differ in health state classification systems, methods for preference assessment, and scoring algorithms.…”

Background Preference-based health-related quality of life scores are useful as outcome measures in clinical studies, for monitoring health of populations, and for estimating quality-adjusted life years. Methods This was a secondary analysis of data collected in an internet survey as part of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS®) project. We used the 10 PROMIS global health items, the PROMIS-29 V. 2 single pain intensity item and 7 multi-item scales (physical functioning, fatigue, pain interference, depressive symptoms, anxiety, ability to participate in social roles and activities, sleep disturbance), and the PROMIS-29 V. 2 items to estimate HUI-3 preference scores. Linear regression analyses were used to identify significant predictors, followed by simple linear equating to avoid regression to the mean. Results The regression models explained 48% (global health items), 61% (PROMIS-29 V. 2 scales) and 64% (PROMIS-29 V. 2 items) of the variance in the HUI-3 preference score. Linear equated scores were similar to observed scores, although differences tended to be larger for older study participants. Conclusions HUI-3 preference scores can be estimated from the PROMIS global health items or the PROMIS-29 V. 2. The estimated HUI-3 scores from the PROMIS health measures can be used for economic applications and as a measure of overall health-related quality of life in research.
