Implementing routine collection of EQ-5D-5L in a breast cancer outpatient clinic.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

A cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate the feasibility of implementing routine collection of the Euro-Qol 5 dimensions (EQ-5D) questionnaire, to inform drug and health technology reimbursement decision making.

Methods

Women with breast cancer were recruited during scheduled clinic visits to an academic cancer centre. EQ-5D-5L was self-administered using electronic tablets. Diagnostic and treatment data were abstracted from patient charts. Feasibility was assessed primarily by the proportion of patients who fully completed EQ-5D-5L and by their willingness to complete the instrument at each clinic visit.

Results

588 women were approached for study participation, 341 were enrolled. Fully completed EQ-5D-5L questionnaires were obtained in 323 partic
