EQ-5D-5L value set summaries

Abstract

This chapter provides structured summaries of all 25 currently published national EQ-5D-5L value sets. The summaries were developed by extracting information from the published manuscripts of each value set and conducting secondary data analyses of the original valuation data generated in each country/region. The summaries include the mathematical formula for the preferred model for each national value set; information on the representativeness of the samples that were used to generate the value set; the mean values observed for each health state valued using composite time trade-off, the distribution of responses in the discrete choice experiment; information on the number of interviewers and whether any interviewer effects were present in the valuation data; key characteristics of the predicted values and relative importance of the EQ-5D-5L dimensions; and information on the uptake of the value set by local decision makers and health technology assessment bodies. This chapter serves as a compendium of EQ-5D-5L value sets, which may inform users of these value sets about the characteristics of all published EQ-5D-5L value sets.
