EQ-5D-5L Values and Determinants for a Vietnamese Population.
Article in Applied health economics and health policy, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to update EQ-5D-5L data on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in the Vietnamese population using the EQ-5D-5L instrument and examine associated sociodemographic and health-related factors.
methodA cross-sectional online survey was conducted between April and May 2025 among 3550 Vietnamese adults aged 18 years and older across three geographic regions. Participants were recruited through convenience and snowball sampling using online platforms. HRQoL was assessed using the EQ-5D-5L index (derived from the Vietnamese value set) and the EQ-VAS. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, and multivariable Tobit regressions were used.
resultsThe mean EQ-5D-5L index score was 0.896 (SD 0.14) and the mean EQ-VAS score was 86.7 (SD 11.8). Significant differences were observed across age groups, employment status, education levels, and chronic disease presence (p < 0.001). Older age, unemployment, low education, and multiple morbidities were independently associated with lower HRQoL scores.
conclusionThe findings provide updated data for HRQoL in Vietnam, confirming the impact of age, socioeconomic status, and health conditions. These results are useful for healthcare planning, health economic evaluations, and prioritizing public health interventions in Vietnam.
