“…Some countries applied a sampling design, whereas other countries did not, which might lead to a more accurate reflection of representativeness for the former. Although mode of administration might contribute to observed differences, a recent study showed equivalence between various modes of administration using the EQ-5D [32]. Further variability between countries might be caused by translations of the different versions of the EQ-5D.…”

“…Standardization for age was performed to avoid bias due to the fact that some populations have a relatively higher proportion of elderly people. Age standardization of reported problems by dimension and EQ VAS were based on the European population structure using Eurostat data from 2010 [26], using the following proportions for each age group: 11% (18-24), 17% (25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34), 18% (35-44), 18% (45-54), 15% (55-64), 11% (65-74), and 10% (75 +).…”

Population norms for the EQ-5D-3L: a cross-country analysis of population surveys for 20 countries

This study provides EQ-5D population norms for 20 countries (N = 163,838), which can be used to compare profiles for patients with specific conditions with data for the average person in the general population in a similar age and/or gender group. Descriptive EQ-5D data are provided for the total population, by gender and by seven age groups. Provided index values are based on European VAS for all countries, based on TTO for 11 countries and based on VAS for 10 countries. Important differences exist in EQ-5D reported health status across countries after standardizing for population structure. Self-reported health according to all five dimensions and EQ VAS generally decreased with increasing age and was lower for females. Mean self-rated EQ VAS scores varied from 70.4 to 83.3 in the total population by country. The prior living standards (GDP per capita) in the countries studied are correlated most with the EQ VAS scores (0.58), while unemployment appeared to be significantly correlated in people over the age of 45 only. A country's expenditure on health care correlated moderately with higher ratings on the EQ VAS (0.55). EQ-5D norms can be used as reference data to assess the burden of disease of patients with specific conditions. Such information, in turn, can inform policy-making and assist in setting priorities in health care.

“…Primary patient-reported outcomes included the Oxford Knee Score (OKS; at 90 and 365 days) 16 and the EuroQol Visual Analogue Scale for "today" health (EQ-VAS; at 35, 90 and 365 days). 17 The OKS comprises 12 joint-specific Likert-style questions about pain and functional impairment during the previous month; responses are scored from 0 (maximal discomfort/ pain or maximal impairment) to 4 (no pain/discomfort or impairment), providing a total score out of 48; higher scores indicate better joint status. EQ-VAS is a scaled measure of how the respondent perceives their own overall health on the day, from 0 (worst health imaginable) to 100 (best health imaginable).…”

“…Baseline scores were based on responses by patients to the printed survey, while follow-up scores were collected by telephone interview; the two approaches have been shown to be equivalent. 17 Rehabilitation charges were determined from the perspective of the provider. Adjustments for inflation were made if the source document for costs was published before 2015.…”

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in models with or without an inpatient rehabilitation component. Design, setting and participants: A propensity score‐matched cohort of privately insured patients with osteoarthritis who underwent primary, unilateral TKA in one of 12 Australian hospitals between August 2013 and January 2015 were included. Those discharged to an inpatient facility because of poor progress or who experienced significant complications within 90 days of surgery were excluded. Intervention: Discharge after surgery to an inpatient rehabilitation facility or home. Main outcome measures: Patient‐reported knee pain and function (Oxford Knee Score; at 90 and 365 days after surgery) and health rating (EuroQol “today” health scale; at 35, 90 and 365 days). Inpatient and community‐based rehabilitation provider charges were also assessed. Results: 258 patients (129 pairs) from a sample of 332 were matched according to their propensity scores for receiving inpatient rehabilitation; covariates used in the matching included age, sex, body mass index, and markers of health and impairment. The only significant difference in outcomes was that EuroQol health scores were better on Day 35 for patients not undergoing inpatient rehabilitation (median difference, 5; IQR, –10 to 19; P = 0.01). Median rehabilitation provider charges were significantly higher for those discharged to inpatient therapy (total costs: median difference, $9500; IQR, $7000–11 497; P < 0.001; community therapy costs: median difference, $749; IQR, $0–1980; P < 0.001). Conclusions: Rehabilitation pathways incorporating inpatient rehabilitation did not achieve better joint‐specific outcomes or health scores than alternatives not including inpatient rehabilitation. Given the substantial cost differences, better value alternatives should be considered for patients after uncomplicated TKA.

Introduction:The aim of this study was to evaluate patient reported outcome measures using the EQ5D-5L and EQ5D-5L visual analogue scale (VAS) following elective shoulder and elbow orthopaedic list delays. This was further correlated with patients' intention to proceed with the planned surgery.Methods: Patients on the waiting list for more than 26 weeks were included in the study. Telephone interviews were conducted utilising the EQ5D-5L and the EQ5D-5L VAS at the time of addition to the waiting list and presently.Results: 75 out of 324 screened patients were eligible. 62 (82.7%) patients still wanted to proceed with their planned procedure while 13 (17.3%) patients in the other group no longer wanted to proceed. There was no statistically significant difference in the mean age, gender, initial trial of conservative treatment and limb laterality between these groups (p < 0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the mean duration of being on the waiting list between these groups (40.4 � 19 vs. 62.9 � 17.5 weeks respectively). Furthermore, statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) in the current EQ5D-5L VAS scores were observed between these groups (52.4 vs. 65.8 respectively). Conclusion:This study has shown that majority of patients on elective shoulder and elbow orthopaedic lists with prolonged waiting list delays and improved EQ5D-5L scores are likely to decline the planned procedure and vice versa. Nevertheless, the unplanned 'watchful waiting' caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and leading to patients deciding to decline surgery, is not a substitute for timely planned surgery to alleviate patients' suffering.
