“…Data to derive the HRQOL reference data was taken from a Vietnam EQ-5D-5L valuation study which was conducted in the general population in 2017 [14]. The validity test was conducted using data from a survey from the "Evaluation of the Ho Chi Minh City Communities for Healthy Hearts" CH2 project, which was conducted in 2019 [39].…”

“…The sample was collected from eight districts of Ho Chi Minh City, the biggest megacity in the south of Vietnam. A combination of multistage, cluster, random sampling techniques was employed [39]. Data presented in this article included participants' background, history on hypertension (physician diagnosed status and comorbidities), the EQ-5D-5L, and physical measurement outcomes (height, weight, blood pressure or BP).…”

Purpose This study aims to provide EQ-5D-5L population norms among the general population in Vietnam and to test EQ-5D-5L’ construction validity among people living with hypertension there. Methods Descriptive statistics of the five dimensions and five levels, EQ-VAS and EQ-5D-5L indexes were categorised into gender and age groups for the EQ-5D-5L population norms. Known-groups testing was set for lower EQ-5D-5L outcomes among people who were aware of their hypertensive status, females, people with more comorbidities, less education, older ages, and higher body mass indexes. Level of confident interval was 95%. Results The mean EQ-VAS and EQ-5D-5L indexes were 81.10 (SD: 13.35) and 0.94 (SD: 0.09) among the general population. The EQ-5D-5L outcomes were better among younger people, males, people with more education, employees, and single people. Respondents reported fewer problems with self-care and usual activities and tend to have problems at higher levels across older ages. The known-group testing showed statistically significant results. The mean EQ-VAS and EQ-5D-5L indexes of people in the diagnosed hypertensive group (71.48 and 0.94, respectively) were statistically significantly smaller than they were in the non-hypertensive and undiagnosed hypertensive group (76.65 and 0.97; 76.95 and 0.96 accordingly). Statistically significant associations of lower EQ-5D-5L indexes and EQ-VAS were found among people diagnosed for hypertension, people suffering from an incremental comorbidity, and obese people. Conclusion This study has provided EQ-5D-5L population norms for the general population and evidence for known-groups validity of the EQ-5D-5L instrument among hypertensive people in Vietnam.

PurposeThis study aims to provide EQ-5D-5L reference data of the general Vietnamese population and to test the EQ-5D-5L’ known-groups validity among people living with hypertension in Vietnam.MethodsThe EQ-5D-5L population norms were obtained via a representative sample from a general population of 1200 adults. Outcomes of the population norms were presented through five dimensions and five levels, EQ-VAS, and EQ-5D-5L indexes. Descriptive statistics of these outcomes were categorised by gender and age groups. Evidence of the known-groups validity was based on a sample of 577 non-hypertensive adults, 242 individuals with undiagnosed and 477 individuals with diagnosed hypertension. A hypothesis was formulated that people with worse health status would have lower EQ-VAS and EQ-5D-5L indexes. ResultsFor the EQ-5D-5L population norms, 54.4% of the respondents reported having full health. The mean EQ-VAS and EQ-5D-5L indexes were 81.10 and 0.94, respectively. The EQ-VAS and EQ-5D-5L indexes were higher among males, people at younger ages, those with more education, a paid job, and single. The mean EQ-VAS and EQ-5D-5L indexes of people in the diagnosed hypertension group were statistically significantly lower than they were in the other two groups. ConclusionThe EQ-5D-5L population norms were derived for the Vietnamese general population. The EQ-5D-5L can distinguish the quality-of-life differences among Vietnamese with hypertension.

Hypertension prevalence in Vietnam is high, but few people are aware of their disease status. Detection, diagnosis, and treatment are limited, so new approaches are needed to improve awareness and manage the condition, especially at the primary health care level. The Communities for Healthy Hearts programme operated in four districts of Ho Chi Minh City, with the aim of increasing awareness and ensuring linkage to care. Interventions focused on extending services beyond health facilities to convenient community locations; training cadres of community volunteers to screen, refer, and follow up with clients; training health workers in facilities to diagnose, educate, and manage patients referred from the community; and supporting the process with digital case tracking. Community-based blood pressure screenings took place in client homes, commune health stations, and non-traditional sites such as coffee shops, dentists’ offices, marketplaces, neighbourhood watch/security posts, and tailor shops. In total, 121,273 adults aged 40 and older were screened. Of these, 25.1% had elevated blood pressure or a previous hypertension diagnosis and were referred to health facilities. Of those referred, 56.2% were confirmed to have hypertension, and of those confirmed, 75.2% were treated. Of those treated, 51.0% achieved blood pressure control, a favourable outcome over past programmes.
