EQ5D-5L adoption issues

Theme 2: Measuring and Valuing Outcomes

The EQ5D-5L is in widespread use as a descriptive system in clinical studies globally. It is the default instrument used in publicly funded studies in this country. 

However, due to concerns about the value Set for England that the EuroQoL Group produced, NICE and other bodies recommend that values be estimated based on the older 3L value set for the UK whilst a new 5L value set is developed. That work is nearing completion. Implementation of this change will raise several challenges.

Aims

To provide essential information for the transition from EQ5D-3L to 5L
