title: 'eq5d: Methods for Analysing ''EQ-5D'' Data and Calculating ''EQ-5D'' Index
  Scores'
version: 0.15.5
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.eq5d
abstract: 'EQ-5D is a popular health related quality of life instrument used in the
  clinical and economic evaluation of health care. Developed by the EuroQol group
  <https://euroqol.org/>, the instrument consists of two components: health state
  description and evaluation. For the description component a subject self-rates their
  health in terms of five dimensions; mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort,
  and anxiety/depression using either a three-level (EQ-5D-3L, <https://euroqol.org/information-and-support/euroqol-instruments/eq-5d-3l/>)
  or a five-level (EQ-5D-5L, <https://euroqol.org/information-and-support/euroqol-instruments/eq-5d-5l/>)
  scale. Frequently the scores on these five dimensions are converted to a single
  utility index using country specific value sets, which can be used in the clinical
  and economic evaluation of health care as well as in population health surveys.
  The eq5d package provides methods to calculate index scores from a subject''s dimension
  scores. 32 TTO and 11 VAS EQ-5D-3L value sets including those for countries in Szende
  et al (2007) <https://doi.org/10.1007/1-4020-5511-0> and Szende et al (2014) <https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-7596-1>,
  44 EQ-5D-5L EQ-VT value sets, the EQ-5D-5L crosswalk value sets developed by van
  Hout et al. (2012) <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jval.2012.02.008>, the crosswalk value
  sets for Bermuda, Jordan and Russia and the reverse crosswalk value sets. 10 EQ-5D-Y
  value sets are also included as are the NICE ''DSU'' age-sex based EQ-5D-3L to EQ-5D-5L
  and EQ-5D-5L to EQ-5D-3L mappings. Methods are also included for the analysis of
  EQ-5D profiles, including those from the book "Methods for Analyzing and Reporting
  EQ-5D data" by Devlin et al. (2020) <https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-47622-9>.
  Additionally a shiny web tool is included to enable the calculation, visualisation
  and automated statistical analysis of EQ-5D data via a web browser using EQ-5D dimension
  scores stored in CSV or Excel files.'
