How does the EQ-5D-5L perform in asthma patients compared with an asthma-specific quality of life questionnaire?


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Asthma patients experience impairments in health-related quality of life (HRQL). Interventions are available to improve HRQL. EQ-5D-5L is a common generic tool used to evaluate health interventions. However, there is debate over whether the use of this measure is adequate in asthma patients. METHODS:We used data from 371 asthma patients participating in a pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program from the EPRA randomized controlled trial. We used four time points: T0 randomization, T1 start PR, T2 end PR, T3 3 months follow-up. We calculated floor and ceiling effects, intra-class correlation (ICC), Cohen's d, and regression analysis to measure the sensitivity to changes of EQ-5D-5?L (EQ-5D index and Visual Analog Scale (VAS)) and the disease-specific Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ). Furthermore, we estimated the minimally important difference (MID). Based on the Asthma Control Test (ACT) scores, we defined three groups: 1. ACT-A (ACT>?19) controlled asthma, 2. ACT-B (14?
