The EuroQol (EQ-5D) generic health index comprises a five-part questionnaire and visual analogue self-rating scale. may be used as to calculate 'utility' value or profile. validity, reliability responsiveness of EQ-5D were tested in 233 patients with rheumatoid arthritis stratified by functional class. demonstrated moderate high correlations measures impairment disability measures. Stepwise regression models showed that utility values scores explained best function pain, disability, disease...
Quality of life has been defined as "the extent to which our hopes and ambitions are matched by experience." To improve a patient's quality through medical care would be "narrow the gap between expectations what actually happens." Using above definition conceptual basis, we produced self-administered, Patient-Generated Index (PGI) life. The PGI was completed 359 patients presenting with low back pain. validity measure assessed correlating patients' scores well-validated health profile,...
