Excerpt

This chapter presents the data sources and methods of the book. General population surveys are accumulated from 24 countries (Table 2.1). Descriptive statistics are used to provide EQ-5D population norms by age and gender categories for EQ VAS, EQ-5D index values, and for the five dimensions. Correlations between country-specific EQ-5D data (EQ VAS and 5 dimensions) and country-specific economic and health system macro indicators are calculated in the cross-country analysis. Odds ratios and the health concentration index methodology are used in the socio-demographic analysis of EQ-5D data.
