The application of the Chinese version of the European quality of life five-dimension scale in China / 中国医师进修杂志

ABSTRACT

This paper introduces the composition of the Chinese version of the European quality of life five-dimension scale (EQ-5D), including two different level scales, EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D-5L, and summarizes the status quo of the application of the above scales. This paper sorts out the utility value sets of the EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D-5L scales currently developed based on the Chinese population, and provide an important reference for Chinese researchers to choose suitable scales for research on health-related quality of life and health economics cost-utility analysis in the future.
