EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D)

The EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D) is a standard health measurement tool used to assess an individual's health status. It evaluates five key dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Respondents select levels of problems they experience in each area, which helps healthcare providers understand a person's overall well-being. The EQ-5D also includes a visual scale for individuals to rate their overall health. This information is valuable for comparing health outcomes, guiding treatment decisions, and conducting health economic evaluations across different populations and conditions.
