![]() Methods: A qualitative study will assess the content validity and acceptability of the Amharic version EQ-5D-Y-3L and EQ-5D-Y-5L among children and adolescents with T1DM in Ethiopia. Objectives: To assess the content validity and acceptability of the EQ-5D-Y-3L and the EQ-5D-Y-5L among children and adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) in Ethiopia. This study will provide valuable information regarding the acceptability and validity of the EQ-5D-Y-3L and the EQ-5D-Y-5L in an important child/youth patient population. The Young Population Working Group (YPWG) has expressed interest in receiving proposals regarding content validity of the EQ-5D-Y. Concerns may arise in relation to content validity (comprehensiveness, relevance, and comprehensibility), and sensitivity especially when compared with condition-specific measures. Although generic instruments have shown to be applicable across populations and possess comparability across studies, they may be less relevant for specific population groups. Introduction: The EQ-5D-Y is one of the most commonly used generic instruments to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among children and adolescents. The two bolt-ons to be evaluated in the proposed project may enhance the EQ-5D's utility in respiratory and cognitive research and clinical practice.Įxploring the content validity and acceptability of the EQ-5D-Y-3L and the EQ-5D-Y-5L among children and adolescents with Type 1 diabetes in Ethiopia A qualitative-study We shall assess floor and ceiling effects, and the contribution of the bolt-ons to the five existing EQ-5D-5L dimensions in explaining variability of the EQ-VAS. In addition, we shall correlate the bolt-ons with pulmonary function tests and comprehensive tablet based cognitive tests using the CANTAB software about 1 year earlier. ![]() The construct validity of the two bolt-ons will be determined by cross-sectional comparison with items and domains of other instruments used concurrently (mMRC, Dyspnea-12, DSQ-SF) in November/December 2022, about 30 months after acute COVID-19. The respiratory bolt-on was used alongside the mMRC and the Dyspnea-12 in the 4th round of the study, at about 30 months (n=220). In this project, we shall conduct a secondary analysis of data from a Norwegian follow-up study of community-based non-hospitalized patients who had COVID-19 in 2020 (n=458), and were followed for about 30 months. In acute COVID-19 and long-COVID, breathing problems and cognitive complaints are common. The EQ-5D is a widely used instrument for measuring HRQoL, but it lacks dedicated dimensions for respiratory and cognitive symptoms. ![]() ![]() Validity of breathing and cognition bolt-ons for the EQ-5D instrument in non-hospitalized patients after COVID-19 (You can also see a downloadable version of the table here) Project Id EuroQol Research Projects – This table lists the ongoing and completed research projects that have been funded by the EuroQol Research Foundation. ![]()
