Summary: This research developed algorithms to map EQ-5D-3L responses to EQ-5D-5L value sets and found that including indicants of problems for other dimensions as regressors in the model improved prediction accuracy. Adding age and gender lowered AIC without improving predictions, while including a latent factor slightly improved predictive accuracy. Models conditioning on problems in other dimensions yielded more accurate predictions than an alternative copula-based approach.

Summary: This study investigates whether and how the initial stages of the COVID-19 pandemic influenced general population health state values. The results suggest that different aspects of COVID-19 had different effects on health state valuation.

Summary: The main objective of this study is to estimate a national value set of the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire for Iran. The cTTO and DCE methods, along with the EQ-PVT protocol, were used to estimate the value set. Through data analysis, a heteroscedastic censored Tobit hybrid model combining cTTO and DCE responses was identified as the best fitting model.

Summary: This study examined the effects of age, immigrant background, and self-reported health on the ability to complete the time trade-off (TTO) in a general population sample. The results showed that older age, poor health, and immigrant status increased the likelihood of non-completion and slow completion of the TTO tasks.

Summary: The objective of this study was to derive population norms for the EQ-5D-5L in Canada using a representative sample. Data from the Canadian EQ-5D-5L valuation study were analyzed, and the results showed that pain/discomfort was the most frequently reported problem, while self-care was the least. The study provides the population references for economic evaluations and clinical research in Canada.

Summary: This research aims to develop more accurate mapping algorithms from health assessment questionnaire disability index (HAQ-DI) onto EQ-5D-5L based on Chinese Rheumatoid Arthritis patients. Direct mapping and response mapping were carried out using different regression models. The mapping algorithm based on Beta performed the best according to the evaluation criteria. Researchers can choose the mapping algorithms based on the actual data.

Summary: This study aimed to test the validity and reliability of the EQ-5D-5L (5L) in cancer patients compared to EQ-5D-3L (3L). The results showed that compared to 3L, 5L performed better in terms of ceiling effect, inconsistency, discriminatory power, convergent validity, and relative efficiency.

Summary: The study aimed to estimate population norms for the Romanian versions of EQ-5D-5L, EQ-5D-3L, their indexes, and EQ VAS. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a representative sample, and descriptive statistics were used to estimate population norms by age groups and sex. The findings provide reference values for healthcare professionals, researchers, and decision-makers in Romania.

Summary: This valuation study aimed to produce a value set for the use of EQ-5D-5L data in decision making in Slovenia. Through survey and data analysis, the value range and variations of 3125 EQ-5D-5L health states were determined. The results have important implications for the use of EQ-5D-5L in Slovenia and neighboring countries.

Summary: Preference heterogeneity in health valuation was analyzed using discrete choice responses from a Peruvian study. The results revealed three preference classes: quality-of-life oriented class, length-of-life oriented class, and middle class. The study also identified two scale classes and heteroskedasticity within each class.

Summary: This study compared the psychometric properties of the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire with the EQ-5D-3L version and EQ VAS in the general adult population of Poland. It found that the EQ-5D-5L had similar or better psychometric properties compared to its EQ-5D-3L equivalent. The novel approach of using a machine learning technique known as the random forest algorithm for construct validity assessment proved to be effective.

Summary: This research aimed to determine the robustness of the German EQ-5D-5L valuation data for the general population compared with those with health impairments. The results showed that people with self-reported health impairments do not have different EQ-5D-5L health state preferences compared with the German general population.

Summary: The study revealed that social cohesion and socioeconomic status have an impact on the health behaviors of middle-aged and older adults in China. Higher social cohesion is associated with healthier dietary habits and lifestyle choices, while education and income levels also have an influence on health behaviors.

Summary: This study aims to explore longitudinal patterns of health behaviors among older adults in China and assess their associations with depressive symptoms. The findings suggest that health behavior patterns characterized by consistently low social participation are associated with higher levels of depressive symptoms.
