“…Two previous studies have investigated health states in Sweden using the EQ‐5D [16,30]. Björk and Narinder in 1999 [31] found 32 health states represented, and Burström et al. in 2001 [16] found 75, compared with the 54 observed in the present study.…”

“…Because there are no Swedish TTO or SG preference values for EQ‐5D health states, it was necessary to find another set of population preference values, e.g., Swedish preference values elicited by other methods [30] or non‐Swedish values derived from the same method (the EQ‐5D) [19]. Although the Swedish preference values published in 1999 by Björk and Norinder [31] are closest to the ones required by the methodology used in the present study, they could not be used because the model was published without coefficients for the EQ‐5D health states. It was decided to give priority to methodological purity rather than to homogeneity of origin and to apply values derived using the EQ‐5D but from a different population.…”

“…This questionnaire is widely used in many countries and different patient groups, as well as in population studies (12, 19). It has been validated and tested for Swedish conditions in cooperation with the EuroQolGroup formatted in 1987 where Sweden was one of the original participating seven centres in five countries (12, 20, 21).…”

Untreated osteoarthritis (OA) in the hip causes pain and reduced physical and social functioning. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of waiting time on health-related quality of life (HRQOL), functional condition and dependence on help at the time of surgery and during follow-up 1 year after surgery. A further aim was to elucidate possible differences between men and women. Two hundred and twenty-nine consecutively included patients with OA in the hip were interviewed when assigned to the waiting list, again 1 week prior to surgery with unilateral total hip replacement (THR), and 1 year after surgery. Health-related quality of life and function were measured using the Nottingham Health Profile, EuroQoL and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index. The result showed that the average waiting time was 239 days, that 15% of the patients were operated on within 3 months, and that 21% had to wait more than 6 months. At the time of surgery, HRQOL had deteriorated significantly (p < 0.05) and the number of patients receiving support from relatives had increased from 31% to 58% during the wait. At the 1-year follow-up, both HRQOL and functional condition had improved significantly despite the wait, and the need for support from relatives had decreased to 11% (p < 0.001). In conclusion, long waiting time for THR is detrimental to patients' HRQOL causing reduced functional condition, pain and increased need for support from relatives, which limit the independence in daily life.

“…In the EQ-5D self classifier the respondents classified their own health status in five aspects – mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression into one of three levels – no problems, moderate problems and severe problems [14,15]. Each obtained individual health state was then given an index value (0–1) based on a method described by Dolan [16].…”
