EuroQol (EQ-5D)

EuroQol (EQ-5D) is a widely used tool for measuring health-related quality of life. It helps assess a person's overall health by asking them to rate five different areas: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Respondents select their level of difficulty in each area, which allows researchers and healthcare providers to understand how health conditions affect daily living. The EQ-5D can help in comparing the effectiveness of treatments, guiding healthcare decisions, and conducting health economics studies to improve patient care.
