Validation of the euroqol five-dimensions - three-level quality of life instrument in a classical Indian language (Odia) and its use to assess quality of life and health status of cancer patients in Eastern India

Abstract: Background and Objectives:The EuroQol five-dimensions – 3-level (EQ5D) is a versatile quality of life (QOL) instrument with five dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression) and a visual analog scale. It can be used to calculate quality-adjusted life years. We aimed to evaluate the validity, reliability, and responsiveness of an Odia version of EQ5D and to study the QOL of cancer patients in our part of the country as cancer treatment in India still focuses largel… Show more

“…The EQ-5D-5L instrument has been used in India to examine QoL in patients with spinal cord injuries and other chronic diseases 21–23. A validated tool in Hindi is not available with most studies using translations of the English version; however, validation has been done in one Indian language 22. A recent review of generic health outcome tools, such as EQ-5D-5L, for assessing the complete range of effects of injury on health and well-being captured only 6% of health outcomes and 12% of concepts relating to activity and participation.…”

“…There are two types of EQ-5D questionnaires: the 3 level EQ-5D (EQ-5D-3L) and the more recently developed version with 5-levels (EQ-5D-5L). Several studies support both the validity and sensitivity of the EQ-5D questionnaire in cancer patients (24,28). However, some studies suggest that the 5-level classifier system has less ceiling effect and better discriminative abilities with potentially more power to detect differences between groups as compared to EQ-5D-3L (29,30).…”
