Abstract

The objective is to present and share an Excel program that we have developed to perform statistical analyses based on the Improved RIDIT approach of Marfak et al.’s article ‘Improved RIDIT statistic approach provides more intuitive and informative interpretation of EQ-5D Data’.

Highlights

In our article ‘Improved RIDIT statistic approach provides more intuitive and informative interpretation of EQ-5D data’ [1], we presented the theoretical bases of the Improved RIDIT method as well as its application for studying the effect of a disease or a treatment on the quality of life evaluated by the EQ-5D instrument
We present and share with the scientific community in the field of health and quality of life an Excel program consisting of two separate files for performing the Improved RIDIT calculation and interpretation for both EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D-5L versions

Summary

Introduction

Introduction In our article ‘Improved RIDIT statistic approach provides more intuitive and informative interpretation of EQ-5D data’ [1], we presented the theoretical bases of the Improved RIDIT method as well as its application for studying the effect of a disease or a treatment on the quality of life evaluated by the EQ-5D instrument. We present and share with the scientific community in the field of health and quality of life an Excel program consisting of two separate files for performing the Improved RIDIT calculation and interpretation for both EQ-5D-3L (file: ‘ImprovedRIDIT-CalculationEQ-5D-3L.xlsx’) and EQ-5D-5L (file: ‘ImprovedRIDITCalculation-EQ-5D-5L.xlsx’) versions. Each of the two Excel files comprises 7 sheets.
