“…While adjustments were made for sample structure, some of these factors may have influenced the comparability of the results. In particular, some surveys in the dataset archive were older, and limited evidence suggests that population norms may or may not change over time, depending on the country [3]. Non-response may have introduced a potential bias towards underestimation of self-reported health problems.…”

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.

“…Among this research were surveys conducted in various countries that measured the health-related quality of life of the general population [3]. These EQ-5D surveys have been informative in providing new data on population health characteristics, complementing the traditionally collected morbidity and mortality data.…”

“…In order to define age-and gender-specific population norms, for both production and self-care, we used the raw data of two -respectively "self-care" and "usual activities" -of the five domains of the EQ-5D as presented in Szende et al [25]. Rather than relying on the single utility index as defined by EQ-5D and consequently taking into consideration the change in utility brought about by the disease/treatment, we decided to focus solely on the reduced ability to perform daily activities.…”

“…Age-and gender-specific health benchmark are derived from Szende et al [25], reporting self-reported population norms for 24 countries, based on the EQ-5D 2 questionnaire [26]. Given this, the model assumes that every year of life lived "below the norm" determines Societal costs, in terms of both paid and unpaid reduced production and in terms of augmented need of informal care.…”

“…With a total of 30 questions the instrument gives a broad and sensitive assessment of HRQoL in patients with cancer. In order to compare the results of this questionnaire with the Italian data reported in Szende et al [25], rather than mapping QLQ-C30 results onto EQ-5D to derive a single utility index, the model applies the scoring algorithm developed for QLQ-C30 [32] to EQ-5D raw numbers. In particular, we were interested in comparing "self-care" and "usual activities" domains of EQ-5D (Table VI), respectively, with "physical functioning" and "role functioning" subscales of QLQ-C30 of ASPIRE trial, as reported in Aaronson et al [28].…”

We developed a general model for estimating and comparing disease-and treatment-specific lost paid/unpaid production (due to premature death and reduced ability) and informal care received (due to reduced ability) in Italy, starting from survival, demographic and Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) data. Assuming the disease is not selecting a systematically different population in terms of mean wage than the general public, age-and gender-specific yearly production values are estimated combining data from the last Italian Time-Use-Survey on time dedicated to paid and unpaid (household, caring and volunteering) activities, with a) the last Italian Wage-Structure-Survey, for paid activities (Human Capital approach), and b) market prices for an equivalent service, for unpaid production (Proxy Good approach). To avoid double counting, age-and gender-specific maximum care needs are approximated with time dedicated to eating and personal care, reported in TUS. Present monetary values of future productivity and informal care are estimated applying a 3.5% annual discount rate. Lost life years due to a particular condition/treatment are estimated by comparison of its survival curve with the corresponding age-and gender-normalized survival curve of the general Italian population. The degrees of reduced productivity and need for informal care for remaining life years are estimated by comparison of condition-/treatment-specific reported HRQoL data with demographically matched Italian norms. Our results will be useful for cost-effectiveness and budget impact analyses conducted from the perspective of the Italian society and we encourage the inclusion of these costs in economic evaluations to allow decision makers to be fully informed about the costs and consequences of their decisions on healthcare interventions.
