TL;DR: EQ-5D, a generic measure of health status that provides a simple descriptive profile and a single index value that can be used in the clinical and economic evaluation of health care and in population health surveys, is being widely used by clinical researchers in a variety of clinical areas.

TL;DR: This book discusses the construction of the EQ-net VAS and TTO databases, Guidelines for analysing and reporting EQ-5D outcomes, and a comparison of EQ- 5D time trade-off values obtained in Germany, The United Kingdom and Spain.

TL;DR: This contribution reports how a European set of general population preference weights was derived from the data collected in the 11 valuation studies to suggest that VAS values for EQ-5D health states in six Western European countries can be described by a common model

TL;DR: The EuroQol Group has developed a standard protocol, with accompanying digital aid and interviewer training materials, that can be used to create value sets for the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire that enhances the comparability of value sets between countries, and allows the exploration of the influence of cultural and other factors on health state values.

TL;DR: The ERA-EDTA registry as discussed by the authors collects data from national and regional registries of Austria, Finland, French-Belgium, The Netherlands, Norway, and Scotland for renal replacement therapy (RRT) treatment.
