PURPOSE: To generate a normative profile for the EQ-5D-5L dimensions, EQ-5D-5L index, and EQ-VAS scores of the general Thai population and to examine the associations between sociodemographic characteristics and their norm-based scores. METHODS: Data from 2019 general Thai samples were employed to estimate the norm-based scores elicited using the Thai EQ-5D-5L value set. Descriptive statistics were used to estimate the norm-based scores stratified by gender and six age bands to obtain the normative profile for the general Thai population. Multivariable logistic and Tobit regression models were used to investigate the relationships between sociodemographic characteristics and EQ-5D-5L dimensions, EQ-5D-5L index, and EQ-VAS scores. RESULTS: The mean EQ-5D-5L index and EQ-VAS scores were 0.931 and 82.3, respectively. Approximately 88.9% of the participants reported 19 out of 3125 (3%) possible health states. The odds of having problems with mobility was greatest for the sample aged ≥ 65 years and declined with decreasing age. Women, samples with advancing age, and those with a household income of ≤ 10,000 Baht/month and fair and poor health perceptions were more likely to report a lower EQ-5D-5L index. Furthermore, advanced age and fair and poor health perception were significantly associated with lower EQ-VAS scores. CONCLUSION: The EQ-5D-5L population norms were established as the benchmark for both EQ-5D-5L index and EQ-VAS scores for the general Thai population. This is expected to support the health service research and inform policymakers on the allocation of limited healthcare resources.
目的:生成一般泰国人群的 EQ-5D-5L 维度、EQ-5D-5L 指数和 EQ-VAS 评分的规范标准,并探讨社会人口特征与其基于规范的评分之间的关系。
方法:使用来自 2019 年一般泰国样本的数据来估计使用泰国 EQ-5D-5L 值集得出的基于规范的评分。使用描述性统计方法按性别和六个年龄组分层,以获得一般泰国人群的规范标准。使用多变量逻辑和 Tobit 回归模型来研究社会人口特征与 EQ-5D-5L 维度、EQ-5D-5L 指数和 EQ-VAS 评分之间的关系。
结果:EQ-5D-5L 指数和 EQ-VAS 评分的平均值分别为 0.931 和 82.3。大约 88.9%的参与者报告了 3125 种可能健康状态中的 19 种(3%)。在年龄≥65 岁的样本中,移动能力出现问题的可能性最大,并且随着年龄的降低而下降。女性、年龄较大的样本以及家庭月收入≤10,000 泰铢和健康状况不佳的人更有可能报告 EQ-5D-5L 指数较低。此外,年龄较大和健康状况不佳与 EQ-VAS 评分较低显著相关。
结论:为一般泰国人群建立了 EQ-5D-5L 人群规范标准,作为 EQ-5D-5L 指数和 EQ-VAS 评分的基准。这有望支持卫生服务研究,并为政策制定者在分配有限的医疗资源方面提供信息。
