Calculate utility index scores by mapping between EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D-5L

Description

Conditional prediction of the utility values of 5L scores onto 3L value sets and 3L scores onto 5L value sets from observed or specified values conditional on age and gender using the NICE Decision Support Unit's EEPRU funded models (see NICE DSU's website for more information).

Usage

eq5dmap(scores, country, version, age, sex, bwidth = 0)

Arguments

scores	numeric with names MO, SC, UA, PD and AD representing Mobility, Self-care, Usual activities, Pain/discomfort and Anxiety/depression. or a utility index score
country	value set country
version	string of value "3L" or "5L" to indicate starting instrument version.
age	age in years (18-100), or age category (1: 18-34, 2: 35-44, 3: 45-54, 4: 55-64, 5: 65-100)
sex	Male or Female
bwidth	bandwith score for approximate scores (< 0.8: 0.2, 0.8-0.951: 0.1, 0.951-1: small, but large enough to include 1)

Details

Available value sets can be viewed using the function valuesets.

Value

calculated utility index score.

Examples

eq5dmap(c(MO=1,SC=2,UA=3,PD=4,AD=5), "UK", "5L", 30, "female")
eq5dmap(0.922, "UK", "5L", 18, "male")
eq5dmap(0.715, "UK", "5L", 50, "male", bwidth = 0.0001)
