Value of EQ‐5D in Mexican city older population with and without dementia (SADEM study)

Abstract

The resulting valuations form the basis for clinical use and facilitate the interpretation and evaluation of health care.

Prevalence of dementia in Latin America and Caribbean countries: Systematic review and meta-analyses exploring age, sex, rurality, and education as possible determinants

“…Some studies aimed specifically to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease, and in this case, the search revealed nine studies using the criteria established by the National Institute of Neurological and Communication Disorders and Stroke and the Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders Association (NINCDS-ADRDA) ( Albala et al, 1997 , Correa Ribeiro et al, 2013 , Custodio et al, 2008 , Gooding et al, 2006 , Herrera et al, 2002 , Llibre et al, 2009 , Llibre Rodríguez et al, 1999 , Molero et al, 2007 , Martínez Querol et al 2005 , Sanchez-Arenas et al, 2013 , Villarreal et al, 2016 ). In the case of vascular dementia, the diagnosis was established based on criteria from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke Association Internationale pour la Recherche et l’Enseignement en Neurosciences (NINDS-AIREN) ( Correa Ribeiro et al, 2013 ; Custodio et al, 2008 , Gooding et al, 2006 , Herrera et al, 2002 , Llibre et al, 2009 , Molero et al, 2007 ).…”

Impact of Imiglucerase Supply Shortage on Clinical and Laboratory Parameters in Norrbottnian Patients with Gaucher Disease Type 3

“…Unexpected events occurring while on reduced ERT doses were reported by patients to their physicians and documented in patient files. The EuroQoL-5D (EQ-5D) questionnaire, which is a generic instrument to evaluate the current general state of health, was used to assess changes in N-GD3 patient’s health status before and at the end of the imiglucerase shortage period (Sanchez-Arenas et al 2014 ).…”

Reliability of EQ-5D for use in population with and without dementia (SADEM study)

“…The research protocol was approved by The National Commission of Scientific Research and by the IMSS Ethics Commission (registration number 2010‐785‐005), as fully describe in Sanchez‐Arenas et al . (). Information collected included Daily Living Activities, Instrumental Activities of Daily Living, Mini‐mental state examination, short form of the quality of life survey, and the EQ‐5D.…”

“…In order to investigate the reliability, and validity of the EQ‐5D in patients with and without dementia, a validation study was recently undertaken through the alpha of Cronbach with latent variable or dimension in order to calculate reliability and, therefore, utility of this instrument in a very specific population. Considering that there are some problems with determining the reliability of the EQ‐5D‐3 L, we would like to take some methodological aspects to clarify why we used internal consistency for the measurement (Sanchez‐Arenas et al ., ).…”
