Understanding the Transition Between Age-Specific Measures of Health-Related Quality of Life: Evidence on the Relationship Between and Comparative Performance of the EQ-5D-Y-5L and EQ-5D-5L
Although both instruments are valid for measuring HRQoL in adolescents aged 12 to 18 years, EQ-5D-Y-5L had some psychometric advantages. The instruments are closely related, but differences in their descriptive systems produce differences in self-reported HRQoL. Results highlight potential discontinuities in HRQoL measured using age-specific instruments, which may be important for their use in economic models that involve transitions between age groups.
