Examining the health-related quality of life using EQ-5D-5L in patients with four kinds of chronic diseases from specialist outpatient clinics in Hong Kong SAR, China.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundHealth-related quality of life (HRQoL) measures have been increasingly employed in the evaluation of health utility. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of four different kinds of chronic diseases on the HRQoL of patients from specialist outpatient clinics in Hong Kong (HK) using the 5-level EQ-5D (EQ-5D-5L) value set. PATIENTS AND
methodsPatients who attended one of the 26 Hospital Authority's specialist outpatient clinics and met inclusion criteria were potentially sampled. The value of EQ-5D-5L (HK version) that asks the respondent to describe and rate his or her health status was used as the dependent variable. Four kinds of long-term health conditions and other demographic, socioeconomic, and health service use characteristics have been analyzed as independent variables. Chi-square test, robust one-way ANOVA, and the two-part model have been used to analyze the data.
resultsA total of 7,496 (53.7%) patients reported to have at least one kind of chronic diseases. The mean score for hypertension (mean =0.882, standard error [SE] =0.207) is higher than the others, which followed by cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. Patients who were male, young, higher education attainment, and with chronic conditions got a higher EQ-5D score. In the two-part model, all the four long-standing health conditions were statistically significant in logistic model, but the magnitude of coefficients changed significantly in ordinary least squares model.
conclusionChronic diseases have a significant negative impact on patients' HRQoL, but there might be a varying effect depending on what kind of chronic diseases patients had. Further research is also needed to plan appropriate strategies to improve patient-centered care.
