Discover the latest research from EuroQol Group in the development of the EQ-5D-Y youth version. Dive into ongoing studies on disease-specific adaptations and additional dimensions, like cognition. Explore how to value health states for children, parents, and the general public. Uncover insights on coping skills in children and examine if values differ across different age groups. Gain valuable information on applying the Time Trade-Off method for children's health states. Delve into the complexities of modeling TTO values for conditions like psoriasis. Join the discussion on expanding dimensions beyond the traditional EQ-5D framework.

New and ongoing areas of research In the EuroQol Group
New research • International 5L valuation • Discussed already • EQ-5D-Y • Youth version • Disease specific adaptations • ‘Bolt on’ additional dimensions
EQ-5D-Y: Youth • Translations • Available in more than 20 languages • Youth between 7-12 years • Proxy versions • In development
But not yet a value set • How should value the health states • Children? • Parents? • The general public? • How do you include: • Development backlog? • The remarkable coping skills children?
Are values different • Do we value health states different? • For ourselves • For someone other like ourselves • For a 10-year child • New paper of the 2012 Meeting
Small number of health states Still VAS Does this also apply for TTO? Complication: How to apply TTO for health states of children? Descriptive system EQ-5d-Y is different! Feedback from the 2012 meeting
Bolt-on • Do we miss dimensions? • In the past: EQ-6D • Mobility; • Daily activity and self care; • Work performance • Family and leisure performance • Pain/discomfort • Present mood • First attempts • EQ-5D+cog: addition of cognition?
EQ-5D+cog • Used in DALY WHO project • Cognition was recognized as important • Lot of discussion • Is it necessary? • Who is making the value set? • An unofficial set exist • Based on mapping DALY project • Is used… • But gives confusion • No official status
Why not other dimensions? • Developed already • Psoriasis • Vision
Evidence on EQ-5D: some examples Hearing Schizophrenia Bipolar disorder Vision Depression and anxiety Some cancers Skin Personality disorder
Estimation of utilities • Used standard EQ-5D-3L TTO protocol • General public interviews in UK only • N = 300 • Sub-set of 49 states were included using orthogonal design
Results • OLS and random effects models estimated • Interaction terms; collapsing levels • Both dimensions have a significant impact • Some inconsistencies in the data • The largest gap is between level 3 and 4 (moderate and severe)
Discussion 2012 meeting • No real problem when seen as pilot • Convenience sample • TTO not standardised • Methodological complications • Things get complicated for responders fast • 223451 versus 122345 • Cognition overload • 57 = 78.125 health states • Similar values for 4th and 5th levels • Modeling stressed to the limit?
