Article Synopsis
- The study compares two health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) measures, EQ-5D and 15D, in patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) to assess their effectiveness.
- Conducted on 182 patients at Kuopio University Hospital between 2012 and 2014, the study found that the EQ-5D had lower baseline scores and poor agreement with the 15D instrument, but was better at distinguishing patient groups.
- Results showed that while both measures indicated significant patient improvement after one year, the EQ-5D required fewer patients to demonstrate an additional quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gain compared to the 15D, suggesting they are not interchangeable.
