EuroQol-5D

The EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D) is a standardized tool used to measure a person's health-related quality of life. It consists of a simple questionnaire that asks about five key health dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Respondents indicate their current health status on a scale, allowing comparisons across different health conditions and populations. The information gathered helps doctors, researchers, and policymakers understand the impact of health issues, assess treatments, and allocate resources more effectively, ultimately aiming to improve public health outcomes.
