Disease-specific QoL to EQ-5D mapping sources

Dear all,

I would like to ask for your tips.

Sometimes we have to map a disease-specific quality of life measure to EQ-5D. To achieve that, we need to find a relevant mapping algorithm. I’ve been wondering, if you know a good source of publications with different mappings, that would make the searching process easier?

Dear Anna,

This is a very important question! There is a database on Health Economic Research Centre’s (HERC) website that I think may be helpful for you. It is available in the form of Excel spreadsheet which is very convenient, you can just download it on your computer and use whenever you need it.

HERC database of mapping studies — Health Economics Research Centre (HERC) (ox.ac.uk)

HERC has been established by the University of Oxford, so it definitely can be considered a reliable source of information. I hope this helps.
