A comparison of the EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D-5L
12 May 2020 - Previous studies have found the EQ-5D-5L to have superior measurement properties but no study has compared the two measures in a large general population survey using matched respondents.
Using data from the GP Patient Survey, coarsened exact matching was used to match individuals completing the 3L in 2011 with those completing the 5L in 2012.
Matching resulted in a cohort of 1,023,218 respondents (2011: 511,609; 2012: 511,609) for analysis.
