Validation of the EQ-5D quality of life instrument in patients after myocardial infarction

Abstract

The EQ-5D provides valid general HrQOL measurement post-MI.

Quality of Life and Functional Outcomes 12 Months After Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest

“…13 However, some quality-of-life measurement tools have been validated in the critical care patient population. [13][14][15] The collection of long-term OHCA morbidity data is important for the appropriate evaluation of emergency medical service (EMS) systems and treatment approaches. 16 A number of studies have reported the HRQoL for OHCA survivors, but these have generally been limited by a lack of validated assessment tools, small sample sizes, and incomplete patient follow-up.…”

Health-related quality of life in patients after the acute myocardial infarction

“…Validity of these questionnaires for the evaluation of HRQL of the patients with AMI were tested and retested in many surveys and in different European countries and the questionnaires were evaluated as valid and sensible [28].…”

Health Related Quality of Life in Coronary Patients

“…The third part gathers other anonymous data to provide a demographic characterization of the group studied (Williams, 1990). This questionnaire has been validated among populations with heart disease and has been shown to possess good psychometric characteristics when compared with other previously-validated generic tools used with these populations (Ellis et al, 2005;Nowels et al, 2005).…”
