EQ-5D is a popular health related quality of life instrument used
in the clinical and economic evaluation of health care. Developed by the
EuroQol group <https://euroqol.org/>, the instrument consists of two
components: health state description and evaluation. For the description
component a subject self-rates their health in terms of five dimensions;
mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and
anxiety/depression using either a three-level (EQ-5D-3L,
<https://euroqol.org/eq-5d-instruments/eq-5d-3l-about/>) or a five-level
(EQ-5D-5L, <https://euroqol.org/eq-5d-instruments/eq-5d-5l-about/>)
scale. Frequently the scores on these five dimensions are converted to a
single utility index using country specific value sets, which can be used
in the clinical and economic evaluation of health care as well as in
population health surveys. The eq5d package provides methods to calculate
index scores from a subject's dimension scores. 29 TTO and 11 VAS EQ-5D-3L
value sets including those for countries in Szende et al (2007)
<doi:10.1007/1-4020-5511-0> and Szende et al (2014)
<doi:10.1007/978-94-007-7596-1>, 35 EQ-5D-5L EQ-VT value sets from the
EuroQol website, the EQ-5D-5L crosswalk value sets developed by
van Hout et al. (2012) <doi:10.1016/j.jval.2012.02.008>, the
crosswalk value set for Russia and reverse crosswalk value sets. Four
EQ-5D-Y value sets are also included as are the NICE 'DSU' age-sex
based EQ-5D-3L to EQ-5D-5L and EQ-5D-5L to EQ-5D-3L mappings. Methods are
also included for the analysis of EQ-5D profiles along with a shiny web
tool to enable the calculation, visualisation and automated statistical
analysis of EQ-5D data via a web browser using EQ-5D dimension scores
stored in CSV or Excel files.
