Abstract
During the 26 years since EQ-5D was first developed, a substantial amount of
research has been carried out worldwide using the instrument. Among these studies
were surveys conducted in various countries that measured the health-related
quality of life of the general population. These studies have been informative in
providing new data on population health characteristics, complementing the tradi-
tionally collected morbidity and mortality data.
The EuroQol Group is frequently asked to provide EQ-5D population reference
data (sometimes called population norm data or simply population norms) for a
specific country or international region. Such data can be used to compare profiles
for patients with specific conditions with data for the average person in the general
population in a similar age and/or gender group. Also the burden of disease in
question can be compared to the general population’s health.
