Instrument-Defined Estimates of the Minimally Important Difference for EQ-5D-5L Index Scores

Abstract

BACKGROUND: The five-level EuroQol five-dimensional questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) is a preference-based measure of health-related quality of life (HRQOL), which yields an index score anchored at 0 (dead) and 1 (full health).

OBJECTIVES: To estimate the MID of the …
