Value set of EQ-5D-Y-3L for Hong Kong.
Article in Health and quality of life outcomes, 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
objectivesThe EQ-5D-Y instrument is currently used to assess health-related quality of life of health states experienced by young populations. However, a country-specific EQ-5D-Y value set for Hong Kong (HK) is not yet available. The study aimed to develop an HK-specific value set for the EQ-5D-Y, following the valuation proposal recommended by the EuroQol Group.
methodsThe study included a Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) exercise to estimate the relative importance of each level within the five dimensions of the EQ-5D-Y. A composite Time-Trade Off (C-TTO) was also conducted to anchor the latent scale derived from the DCE to the quality-adjusted life years (QALY) 0–1 scale. Both tasks were administered using the EQ-PVT platform. Responses were collected from adults in the general population, who completed the elicitation tasks from a child’s perspective.
resultsA total of 1,001 adult participants responded for the Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE), while 205 adults completed the Composite Time Trade-Off (C-TTO) tasks. The sample was representative of the general Chinese population in HK in terms of age, sex, and geographical distribution. Among the five EQ-5D-Y dimensions, the most influential in determining health state preferences was pain/discomfort, followed by feeling worried, sad, or unhappy; performing usual activities; mobility; and self-care.
conclusionThis study presents an EQ-5D-Y-3 L value set for the HK Chinese young population, following the international valuation protocol of this instrument. This value set enables future use of the EQ-5D-Y-3 L for measuring health-related quality of life and conducting economic evaluation for children and adolescents.
