Health-related quality of life in elderly people with hypertension and the estimation of minimally important difference using EQ-5D-5L 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
objectiveThis study examined health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in elderly patients with hypertension in Hong Kong (HK) by using EQ-5D-5L and estimated the minimally important difference (MID) of the EQ-5D-5L index score for this population.
methodWe analysed secondary data from a population-based cross-sectional patient experience survey in HK. The EQ-5D-5L HK version was used to assess patients' HRQoL. The mean EQ-5D index scores for different subgroups were evaluated by ANOVA. Tobit regression models were used to investigate the relationship between hypertension and HRQoL. An instrument-defined approach was adopted to estimate the MID of the EQ-5D-5L index score.
resultA total of 3,351 patients' records met the selection criteria and were used in this study for our analysis. The mean age was 72.74 years, and 54.97% of respondents were female. The mean EQ-5D index score was 0.83. Most of the respondents (83.36%) reported having no problem with self-care. The Tobit regression model indicated that an increasing number of chronic conditions co-morbidity with hypertension contribute to a decrease in the EQ-5D index score. The overall MID estimate of the EQ-5D index score was 0.0917 and the adjusted MID was 0.0715. The MID estimates varied among respondents of different sexes and ages.
conclusionThe HRQoL and MID estimate of EQ-5D for elderly individuals with hypertension was reported, which provide valuable information for assisting health-care professionals in making clinical decisions in hypertensive care.
