Objectives: This study aimed to perform a systematic review of published evidence on the psychometric properties of 3-level version of EQ-5D-Y and 5-level version of EQ-5D-Y (EQ-5D-Y-5L).
Methods: A literature search on the MEDLINE, Embase, and EuroQol website (until June 2021) was conducted. Original studies on EQ-5D-Y psychometric properties such as feasibility, distribution properties (ceiling and floor effects), reliability (test-retest, interrater, intermodal), validity (known-groups, convergent), and responsiveness, published as full-text articles in English, were included.
Background: This study aimed to assess the validity of the EQ-5D-5L in respondents with self-reported diabetes coming from a representative general population survey.
Methods: 2974 respondents from the general adult population of Poland, chosen with multi-stage random sampling, were surveyed with HRQoL instruments (EQ-5D-5L, EQ VAS, SF-12, EQ-5D-3L) and a screening question about diabetes. To obtain EQ-5D index values, we used country-specific Polish value sets.
Purpose: We aim to compare the psychometric properties of the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire with the EQ-5D-3L version and EQ VAS, based on a survey conducted in a sample representing the general adult population of Poland.
Methods: The survey comprised health-related quality of life (HRQoL) questionnaires: EQ-5D-5L, EQ VAS, SF-12 and EQ-5D-3L, together with demographic and socio-economic characteristics items. The EQ-5D index values were estimated based on a directly measured value set for Poland.
Objective: The analysis aims to assess the cost-effectiveness of cefuroxime (Aprokam®) in the prophylaxis of postoperative endophthalmitis (POE) after cataract surgery compared with the absence of antibiotic prophylaxis from the National Health Fund perspective in Poland.
Methods: We performed a cost-effectiveness and cost-utility analysis using the decision tree and Markov model, respectively, for patients after cataract surgery. The efficacy of Aprokam was 0.
Objectives: We performed a systematic review of health state utility values (HSUVs) obtained using the EQ-5D questionnaire for patients with hematologic malignancies.
Methods: The following databases were searched up to September 2018: MEDLINE, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library, and the EQ-5D publications database on the EuroQol website. Additional references were extracted from reviewed articles.
Article Synopsis
- This study compared two treatments for a blood clot condition called iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (IfDVT): percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT) and thrombolysis alone (THR).
- Researchers looked at various studies from 2001 to 2019, finding out how well each treatment worked and any safety issues they had.
- The results showed that PMT had better long-term success and caused fewer major bleeding problems compared to THR, but they still need to think about some risks from PMT treatment.
