Differences in rating of health related quality of life on the EQ-5D-5 L between ethnic groups.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To examine whether ratings on each of the five dimensions of the EQ-5D-5L vary across ethnic groups after adjusting for health conditions and other relevant covariates.

Methods

We applied the Hierarchical Ordered Probit (HOPIT) model to the EQ-5D-5L responses of 2,642,805 participants in nine pooled cross-sectional waves of the General Practice Patient Survey in England. The model separated latent health, determined by health conditions, from reporting behaviour, which was assumed to be influenced by socio-demographic characteristics, recent healthcare use, and healthcare access.

Results

We find systematic differences in rating behaviour between five ethnic groups. Across all five dimensions, respondents from White ethnic backgrounds were most likely to choose
