EQ5D5L India Value Set

[Shankar Prinja]

Dear All

EuroQol Foundation's EQ5D5L is a generic tool which is widely used to measure the quality of life of a given health condition. These utility values are an important input in economic evaluations where outcome is measured in terms of quality adjusted life years (QALY), as well as clinical assessments of health care interventions which aim to measure improvements in quality of life. 

PFA the India EQ5D5L Value Set published paper and its supplementary materials, which contain the excel file with utility values for all health conditions/ health states in the Indian population. Hope this becomes a useful resource for use in your HTA studies/ economic evaluations, as well as clinical evaluations measuring effectiveness of alternative treatment strategies. 

The paper can also be accessed from
