EQ-5D-5L Portuguese population norms.
Article in The European journal of health economics : HEPAC : health economics in prevention and care, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07659977 (MATTER Project), which is not on this map. Cited by 24 papers.
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

Abstract
objectivesThe EQ-5D-5L is a generic preference-based quality-of-life measure for which the corresponding Portuguese population value set was only recently developed. This study sought to establish EQ-5D-5L population norms for Portugal and to identify significant relationships with sociodemographic variables.
methodsThe research was based on a representative sample of Portugal's general population (n = 1006) aged 18 or older. The sample was stratified by gender, age group, and geographical region. The respondents were interviewed by telephone and asked to value their own state of health using both the EQ-5D-5L description system and the EuroQol-Visual Analogue Scale (EQ VAS).
resultsThe estimated mean EQ-5D-5L index for Portugal's general population is 0.887 (standard error [SE] = 0.0051), and the EQ VAS score was estimated as 76.0 (SE = 0.640). One-third of the population reported being in the best health state (11111). Women, individuals 70 years old or more and people with low education or a chronic disease reported a lower EQ-5D-5L index score (p < 0.001). Residents in the Azores and the Algarve reported higher health utility scores.
conclusionsThe EQ-5D-5L Portuguese population norms obtained can be used as reference scores. These norms are consistent with other countries' population norms. The findings facilitate clinical, economic, and policy decision-making processes and provide a fuller understanding of the Portuguese population's health-related quality of life.
