EQ-5D (EuroQol-5 Dimension)

EQ-5D (EuroQol-5 Dimension) is a standardized tool used to measure people's health-related quality of life. It consists of a simple questionnaire that asks about five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Respondents indicate their health status on various levels, allowing healthcare professionals and researchers to assess the overall impact of health conditions or treatments. The results help in comparing health outcomes across different populations and guiding healthcare decisions. It's widely used in clinical settings, public health, and policy-making to understand and improve health systems.
