Abstract
ObjectiveTo compare problems reported in the five EQ-5D-3L dimensions and EQ VAS scores at baseline and at 1-year follow-up among different patient groups and specific diagnoses in 11 National Quality...
Highlights
Patient- reported outcomes (PROs) are increasingly used in healthcare.[1]
The response, ‘confined to bed’, within the mobility dimension was very uncommon among all diagnoses, with the largest proportion occurring in patients with disc hernia (5%) at baseline and those with fracture on hip and thigh (5%) as well as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pulmonary fibrosis (5%) at 1-year follow-up
Higher proportions of problems and lower self-assessed EQ VAS scores were reported among patients with diagnoses with more symptoms experienced captured by the EQ-5D-3L dimensions
Summary
Study design This is a descriptive study of longitudinal cohorts from 11 Swedish NQRs and comparison with data from the general population. This study forms part of a research project on the use of the EQ-5 D questionnaire in different patient groups in Sweden.[22] The study is reported in line with the REporting of studies Conducted using Observational Routinely collected health Data (RECORD) checklist.[23]. Swedish NQRs included in the study The NQRs included in this study comprise a selection of different disease areas where EQ-5D-3L data are collected. In addition to musculoskeletal conditions, where EQ-5D-3L is used mostly, our sample represents patients with heart failure, respiratory failure and psoriasis. The Better management of patients with Osteoarthritis (BOA) register is referred to as BOA throughout the manuscript (online supplemental table S1)
