The Alberta PROMs and #EQ5D Research and Support Unit (APERSU) is an initiative that operates across the health system. Read about the development of its patient engagement network, that aims to connect those whose experiences collectively reflect the broad scope of PROMs use in Alberta:

I really enjoy reading the expanding literature on #invariance of #ValueSets. Two interesting papers and a taxonomy regarding #obsolescence

"As time and methods advance, the bedrock of applied valuation research naturally becomes increasingly unreliable, and, as a field, we need to consider how to approach this challenge."

Investigating functioning of the #EQ5D -Y-5L in five countries shows that participants can differentiate ordinal response levels, but that measurement quality and scaling functions differ by country and age:
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1098301525024830Since this is conceptually similar to violations of invariance in other measurement models, I wonder whether the #utility #valuation literature needs a more formal framework for this and whether #Psychometrics might help with this?

Perspectives of service providers, caregivers and adolescent patients in this study suggest that if patients are asked to complete PROMs, there is a duty of care for this information to be reviewed and acted upon:

New paper out, great collaboration w former #UniOfYork colleague Tom Patton:
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11136-024-03729-6We harmonized data from #SF12 and #EQ5D using data from the 2000-2001-2003 Medical Expenditure Panel Surveys. We then analysed data from 6 trials (N=1,777 ppl living with opioid use disorder).
Key among multiple findings:
the inclusion of people with lived experience and the measurement of withdrawal symptoms and anhedonia could improve cost-effectiveness models -
The EuroQol foundation's May publication summary included a paper from Quality of Life Research:

I was glad to see that this recent paper published with QLR using Māori-specific data from a nationwide health-related quality of life survey received some media attention:
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11136-023-03399-wAccording to these media sources, it sheds an important light on the extent of inequities in Aotearoa me Te Waipounamu.

Last week "Quality of Life Research" #ISOQOL published 4 articles:
https://link.springer.com/journal/11136/online-firstFor example:
#HRQL in 7 European countries from 9 quarterly waves collected between April 2020 and January 2022 throughout the course of the #COVID19 pandemic:
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11136-022-03334-5"Fixed effects regressions showed that in particular occurrence of infection was associated with problems in all #EQ5D dimensions and a reduction in EQ VAS score as well as EQ-5D-5L index."

I was just reminded of this useful #Rstats resource for #HealthEconomics & #HRQL research:
The -eq5d- package
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/eq5d/index.html"Frequently the scores on the five dimensions of the #EQ5D are converted to a single utility index using country specific value sets, which can be used in the clinical and economic evaluation of health care as well as in population health surveys. The eq5d package provides methods to calculate index scores from a subject's dimension scores."
