Psychometric properties of the EQ-5D-5L in Post COVID-19 Condition: Results from the Long CORFU study
Key Points
This research examines the effectiveness of the EQ-5D-5L in measuring health in individuals with post COVID-19 conditions.
Administered EQ-5D-5L among post COVID-19 condition populations
Evaluated psychometric properties of the tool
Assessed symptom severity and health status over time
Generally sufficient psychometric properties of EQ-5D-5L were found.
Limited ability to capture health in those with severe symptoms was observed.
Inability to detect changes in health over time was reported.
Abstract
Most psychometric properties of the EQ-5D-5L in PCC populations were sufficient, with some limitations in capturing health in people with more severe symptoms, and an inability to detect change over time.
