Description: 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
, 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,
)
or a five-level (EQ-5D-5L,
)
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. 33 TTO and 11 VAS
EQ-5D-3L value sets including those for countries in Szende et
al (2007) and Szende et al (2014)
, 50 EQ-5D-5L EQ-VT value sets,
the EQ-5D-5L crosswalk value sets developed by van Hout et al.
(2012) , the crosswalk value
sets for Bermuda, Jordan and Russia and the van Hout (2021)
reverse crosswalk value sets. 13 EQ-5D-Y-3L 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, including those
from the book "Methods for Analyzing and Reporting EQ-5D data"
by Devlin et al. (2020) .
Additionally a shiny web tool is included 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.
