Parkinson's disease with early motor complications: predicting EQ-5D- 3L utilities from PDQ-39 data in the EARLYSTIM trial.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:A utility value is a health-related quality of life metric (HRQoL) metric used in a cost-effectiveness analysis. While utilities as outcomes in the treatment of advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) with deep brain stimulation (DBS) are available, they do not currently exist for PD with early motor complications. The objectives of this study were to predict utilities from observed disease-specific HRQoL data using two mapping algorithms, and investigate their performance in terms of longitudinal changes within and between treatment groups, and distribution by PD severity. METHODS:This is a post hoc analysis of data from the EARLYSTIM trial of DBS compared with best medical therapy (BMT) in PD patients with early motor complications We used two published algorithms comprising ordinal and multinomial regression models to map EQ-5D-3L utilities from observed PD-specific 39 item Questionnaire (PDQ-39) scores in EARLYSTIM. Utilities were calculated using the predicted functioning levels of EQ-5D-3L dimensions and the established EQ-5D-3L UK tariffs. Statistical analyses (analysis of variance, two-tailed Student's t-test) were used to test the change from baseline within groups and difference in change from baseline between groups in utilities. Boxplots were developed to investigate the distribution of predicted utilities by PD severity, measured using the Hoehn and Yahr scale. RESULTS:The change from baseline in predicted mean utilities was statistically significant at all visits up to 24?months for the DBS group (p

Project description:Background The adult versions EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D-5L have been extensive compared. This is not the case for the EQ-5D youth versions. The study aim was to compare the measurement properties and responsiveness of EQ-5D-Y-3L and EQ-5D-Y-5L in paediatric patients. Methods A sample of patients 8–16 years old with different diseases and a wide range of disease severity was asked to complete EQ-5D-Y-3L, EQ-5D-Y-5L, PedsQL Generic Core Scale, and selected, appropriate disease-specific instruments, three times. EQ-5D-Y-3L and EQ-5D-Y-5L were compared in terms of: feasibility, (re-)distribution properties, discriminatory power, convergent validity, test–retest reliability, and responsiveness. Results 286 participating patients suffered from one of the following diseases: major beta-thalassemia, haemophilia, acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, acute illness. Missing responses were comparable between versions of the EQ-5D-Y, suggesting comparable feasibility. The number of patients in the best health state (level profile 11111) was equal in both EQ-5D-Y versions. The projection of EQ-5D-Y-3L scores onto EQ-5D-Y-5L for all dimensions showed that the two additional levels in EQ-5D-Y-5L slightly improved the accuracy of patients in reporting their problems, especially if severe. Convergent validity with PedsQL and disease-specific measures showed that the two EQ-5D-Y versions performed about equally. Test–retest reliability (EQ-5D-Y-3L 0.78 vs EQ-5D-Y-5L 0.84), and sensitivity for detecting health changes, were both better in EQ-5D-Y-5L. Conclusions Extending the number of levels did not give clear superiority to EQ-5D-Y-5L over EQ-5D-Y-3L based on the criteria assessed in this study. However, increasing the number of levels benefitted EQ-5D-Y performance in the measurement of moderate to severe problems and especially in longitudinal study designs.

Project description:Background and purpose - To better detect small changes in postoperative outcome following total hip replacement (THR), the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register (SHAR) has decided to change from the EQ-5D-3L (3L) to the EQ-5D-5L (5L). To enable comparison of results obtained with use of the 2 versions of EQ-5D, transferal of results between the questionnaires used is necessary. We assessed the measurement properties of the EQ-5D-5L compared with the EQ-5D-3L, preoperatively and 1-year postoperatively in a Swedish THR population.Patients and methods - Patients eligible for elective THR during 2015 in Western Sweden were invited to the study. With a 2-week separation, the 3L and 5L questionnaires were administered to patients before and 1 year after surgery. Comparing the 2 versions of the EQ-5D, we investigated redistribution of responses, ceiling and floor effects, EQ VAS correlations (Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, rs), and EQ VAS scores for different severity levels by dimension (univariable ordinary least square regression).Results - The additional severity levels of the 5L version were frequently used on both measurement occasions (preoperative mobility 5%, self-care 17%, usual activities 20%, pain 5% and anxiety 3%, postoperative mobility 6%, self-care 5%, usual activities 8%, pain 9%, and anxiety 5%). Ceiling effects of the 3L version diminished overall by 7% using the 5L version. The correlations between the 2 EQ VAS scores obtained with the 3L and 5L instruments were strong both pre- (rs = 0.71) and postoperatively (rs = 0.87). Estimated EQ VAS scores for different levels of severity were consistent for all dimensions except for the mobility dimension of the preoperative 5L version and the anxiety dimension in the postoperative 5L version.Interpretation - Our findings support that the 5L has a higher resolution than the 3L version regarding description of health-related quality of life in patients undergoing THR in Sweden. The EQ VAS scores for different levels of severity agree well between the EQ-5D versions. This could potentially be used to develop a crosswalk value set for transforming 3L to 5L responses in this patient group.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The EQ-5D has been frequently used in national health surveys. This study is a head-to-head comparison to assess how expanding the number of levels from three (EQ-5D-3L) to five in the new EQ-5D-5L version has improved its distribution, discriminatory power, and validity in the general population. METHODS:A representative sample (N?=?7554) from the Catalan Health Interview Survey 2011-2012, aged ?18, answered both EQ-5D versions, and we evaluated the response redistribution and inconsistencies between them. To assess validity of this redistribution, we calculated the mean of the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), which measures perceived health. The discriminatory power was examined with Shannon Indices, calculated for each dimension separately. Spanish preference value sets were applied to obtain utility indices, examining their distribution with statistics of central tendency and dispersion. We estimated the proportion of individuals reporting the best health state in EQ-5D-5L and EQ-5D-3L within groups of specific chronic conditions and their VAS mean. RESULTS:A very small reduction in the percentage of individuals with the best health state was observed, from 61.8% in EQ-5D-3L to 60.8% in EQ-5D-5L. In contrast, a large proportion of individuals reporting extreme problems in the 3 L version moved to severe problems (level 4) in the 5 L version, particularly for pain/discomfort (75.5%) and anxiety/depression (66.4%). The average proportion of inconsistencies was 0.9%. The pattern of the perceived health VAS mean confirmed the hypothesis established a priori, supporting the validity of the observed redistribution. Shannon index showed that absolute informativity was higher in the 5 L version for all dimensions. The means (SD) of the Spanish EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D-5L indices were 0.87 (0.25) and 0.89 (0.22). The proportion of individuals with the best health state within each specific chronic condition was very similar, regardless of the EQ-5D version (??30% in half of the 28 chronic conditions). CONCLUSION:Although the proportion of individuals with the best possible health state is still very high, our findings support that the increase of levels provided by the EQ-5D-5L contributed to the validity and discriminatory power of this new version to measure health in general population, as in the national health surveys.
