Background: Hungarian SF-36 population norm data were last collected in 1997-1998 and have not been updated since, reducing their relevance and limiting their usability and comparability. This study aimed to establish contemporary normative data for the SF-36 domain and standardised summary scores in Hungary and compare them to the previous population norms.

Methods: An online cross-sectional survey, including the SF-36v1, was conducted among 1,700 members of the Hungarian adult general population in 2020.

Objectives: Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System-Global Health (PROMIS-GH) is a widely used generic measure of health status. This study aimed to (1) assess the psychometric properties of the Hungarian PROMIS-GH and to (2) develop general population reference values in Hungary.

Methods: An online cross-sectional survey was conducted among the Hungarian adult general population (n = 1700).

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluates the psychometric properties of the Hungarian PROMIS-29+2 profile measure and establishes reference values for the general population in Hungary.
  • An online survey with 1,700 adult participants was conducted to assess various psychometric criteria, revealing high floor or ceiling effects for most domains and strong correlations with the SF-36 measure, except in the sleep disturbance domain which showed significant issues.
  • The results indicate that while the PROMIS-29+2 is generally reliable, the underperformance in assessing sleep disturbance needs further investigation, and the generated reference values will aid in interpreting health outcomes across different patient groups.

Background: The Hungarian health technology assessment guidelines recommend the use of the EuroQol instrument family in quality-adjusted life-year calculations. However, no national value set exists for the EQ-5D-Y-3L or any other youth-specific instrument.

Objective: This study aims to develop a national value set of the EQ-5D-Y-3L for Hungary based on preferences of the general adult population.

Objectives: A number of bolt-ons have been proposed for the EQ-5D, including two psoriasis-specific bolt-ons, skin irritation and self-confidence. The study investigates and compares the relevance and comprehensiveness of these psoriasis-specific bolt-ons and the EQ-5D-5L and explores the potential conceptual overlaps between the existing five dimensions and the two bolt-ons.

Methods: Psoriasis patients were purposively sampled according to age and gender.

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic inflammatory skin disorder affecting up to 10% of adults. The EQ-5D is the most commonly used generic preference-accompanied measure to generate quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) for economic evaluations.

Objectives: We aimed to compare psychometric properties of the three-level and five-level EQ-5D (EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D-5L) in adult patients with AD.

Purpose: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that affects up to 1% of the population in Europe. The EQ-5D is the most commonly used generic instrument for measuring health-related quality of life among HS patients. This study aims to compare the measurement properties of the two adult versions of EQ-5D (EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D-5L) in patients with HS.
