The Use Of EQ5D For Assessment Of Health Related Quality Of Life And Its Determinants In Children With Complex Endocrine Conditions

Listen to this summary

The authors aim to evaluate the utility of the EQ5D tool for assessing health-related quality of life (QoL) in children with complex endocrine conditions. Their study, involving 216 patients, reveals that the EQ5D scores correlate with the complexity of medical care, indicating that a higher number of specialties involved is associated with worse QoL outcomes. The findings suggest that EQ5D is a valuable instrument for routine QoL assessment in pediatric endocrinology.
