Measuring health-related quality of life in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: properties of the EQ-5D-5L and PROMIS-43 short form.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System 43-item short form (PROMIS-43) and the five-level EQ-5D (EQ-5D-5L) are recently developed measures of health-related quality of life (HRQL) that have potentially broad application in evaluating treatments and capturing burden of respiratory-related diseases. The aims of this study were: (1) to examine their psychometric properties in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and (2) to identify dimensions of HRQL that differ and do not differ by lung function.

Methods

We conducted a multi-center, cross-sectional study ("COPD Outcomes-based Network for Clinical Effectiveness & Research Translation" [CONCERT]). We analyzed patients who met spirometric criteria for COPD, and completed EQ-5
