Mapping the Kidney Disease Quality-of-Life Questionnaire Onto the EQ-5D-5L Utility Index in Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis
This novel mapping function translates the KDQoL-36 to EQ-5D-5L values in patients with end-stage kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis, using data from the United Kingdom. They demonstrate satisfactory fit and precision, providing valuable tools for clinicians and researchers, particularly in situations in which generic preference-based health-related quality-of-life instruments are inaccessible for utility derivation in cost-effectiveness studies.
