Indonesia youth population norms for EQ-5D-Y-3 L, EQ-5D-Y-5 L and the PedsQL generic core scale: lower health related quality of life relates to high economic status and stress.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The availability of population norms from generic health-related quality of life (HRQoL) instruments can support the interpretation of health outcomes. This study aimed to provide Indonesian youth population norms for the generic HRQoL measures: EQ-5D-Y-3 L, EQ-5D-Y-5 L, and the PedsQL Generic Core Scales. In addition the opportunity arising from the generation of a large representative sample was taken to explore the relationships between HRQoL, health, and socio-economic factors.

Methods

A representative sample of 1103 Indonesian children (aged 8-16 years) completed EQ-5D-Y-3 L, EQ-5D-Y-5 L, the PedsQL Generic Core Scales, and questions related to demographic data and self-reported health status. A stratified quota sampling design was used to represent Indonesia
