To assess whether three health-related quality-of-life (HRQL) measures (the EQ-5Dindex, SF-6D, and EQ VAS) can discriminate between the HRQL of different groups of individuals.
In one UK general practice a cross-sectional survey requested information on six sociodemographic factors, 10 clinical conditions, and the three HRQL measures. Regression analyses were used to assess whether there was a significant difference in HRQL between groups with different sociodemographic factors and those with and without clinical conditions.
One thousand eight hundred and sixty-five questionnaires were returned. There was a significant difference between the HRQL of the majority of different groups according to each HRQL measure. However, not all of the measures could discriminate between groups of different ethnicity, gender, or smoking status, or those with and without asthma, stroke, cancer or diabetes.
The HRQL of the majority of different groups could be discriminated between by the EQ-5Dindex, SF-6D, and EQ VAS.
评估三种健康相关生活质量(HRQL)测量方法(EQ-5D指数、SF-6D和EQ视觉模拟量表)能否区分不同个体群体的HRQL。
在英国一家全科诊所进行的一项横断面调查中,收集了有关六个社会人口学因素、10种临床疾病以及这三种HRQL测量方法的信息。采用回归分析评估不同社会人口学因素组以及有和无临床疾病组之间的HRQL是否存在显著差异。
共回收1865份问卷。根据每种HRQL测量方法,大多数不同群体的HRQL之间存在显著差异。然而,并非所有测量方法都能区分不同种族、性别或吸烟状况的群体,以及有和无哮喘、中风、癌症或糖尿病的群体。
EQ-5D指数、SF-6D和EQ视觉模拟量表能够区分大多数不同群体的HRQL。
