Objective The goal of this American College of Phlebology Patient Reported Outcome Venous Registry analysis was to examine the clinical efficacy of compression stockings using short-form 6D questionnaire (SF-6D). Method SF-6D scores were modeled over time using linear mixed effects model. Changes of SF-6D score from baseline to the last encounter were examined using a paired t-test. Analysis of variance was used to compare changes from baseline in SF-6D scores between C classifications. All analyses were conducted using SAS software, version 9.4 (SAS Institute, Cary NC). Results Baseline mean SF-6D score was 0.83 and at follow-up, 0.85. Mean SF-6D change was +0.02 points (P = .001) over an average time period of 5.5 months. Patients' SF-6D scores were estimated to increase by +0.03 points (P = .005) per year of usage of compression stockings. SF-6D score changes across C classifications did not demonstrate significant differences (P = .265). Conclusion There was an improvement of SF-6D score in the registry participants who used circular knit compression stockings.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of absolute cardiovascular risk counselling on quality-of-life indices within a chest pain clinic.
Data Sources And Study Setting: Primary data was collected at the Royal Hobart Hospital, Australia, between 2014 and 2020.
Study Design: Patients attending an Australian chest pain clinic were randomised into a prospective, open-label, blinded-endpoint study over a minimum 12-months follow-up.

Article Synopsis
- Physical inactivity is a major health issue and a known risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), with this study focusing on how physical activity impacts the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in middle-aged and older Australians with T2DM.
- Using data from the HILDA Survey and analyzing 2,472 observations from 1,270 individuals, the study employed a random effects model to explore the relationship between physical activity and HRQOL.
- Findings indicate that increased physical activity correlates with improved scores in physical and mental health components, with higher HRQOL observed in those engaging in physical activity at least once a week, suggesting the need for public health initiatives to encourage physical activity for better
The Influence of Recall and Timing of Assessment on the Estimation of Quality-Adjusted Life-Years When Health Fluctuates Recurrently.

Bristol Dental School, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK.
Objectives: When health fluctuates recurrently, estimating quality of life (QOL) is challenging, risking over-/underestimation due to measures' recall periods and timing. To inform how/when to capture QOL, we compared responses using different recall periods and assessment timings.
Methods: For one 3-week chemotherapy cycle, cancer patients were randomly assigned to complete EQ-5D-5L or SF-12v2 (daily with a daily recall, weekly with a weekly recall, and at 3 weeks with a 3-week recall); a third group completed SF-12v2 daily with a 3-week recall.
Valuation survey for SF-6Dv2 in Japan based on the international protocol.

Section of Clinical Epidemiology, Department of Community Medicine, Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan.
Purpose: The SF-6D Classification System was recently updated (SF-6Dv2). We performed a valuation survey to construct a value set for the SF-6Dv2 in Japan.
Methods: An online discrete choice experiment (DCE) with duration was used to estimate a value set for the SF-6Dv2 for Japan based on public preferences.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the measurement properties of EQ-5D-5 L, SF-6Dv2, QLU-C10D, and FACT-8D in survivors of Classical Hodgkin's Lymphoma (CHL).
Methods: A cross-sectional, web-based survey was conducted from May to August 2022 to collect data. Chinese value sets were used to estimate the utility scores for EQ-5D-5 L, SF-6Dv2, and QLU-C10D, while the Australian value set was used for FACT-8D.
