This book provides an essential guide to the use of the EuroQol
Group s value sets for anyone working with EQ-5D data.
The EQ-5D is one of the most widely-used generic health state
descriptive systems internationally, with applications in clinical
trials, public health research and assessments of value for money.
In addition to providing a way of describing health and health
improvement, the EQ-5D facilitates the valuation of health and
health gain through its pre-existing value sets, spanning a wide
range of countries and continents. This book brings together, for
the first time, a comprehensive inventory of these value sets and
their characteristics.
Further, in response to frequent requests from users of EQ-5D
data for advice on valuation, the book provides clear guidance to
users on how to choose which value set to use, for what
purpose.
This short volume will be of great value to methodologists
seeking to understand the valuation systems that underlie the
EQ-5D. It's user-friendly organization will assist analysts and
other members of the health services research community in
determining appropriate valuation sets for studies that rely on the
EuroQol instrument.

Medicine, City University of New York Medical School, US.
This book usefully draws together, for the first time, information
on the EuroQol Group's value sets of estimated utilities around the
world. An important contribution of this book is that analysts now
can - and should - use its reporting of the many value sets
available to check the extent to which an estimate of the QALY gain
of an intervention varies when different sets of estimated
utilities are used .

and Clinical Excellence (NICE), UK.
