The EQ-5D is a questionnaire that people fill in to report their subjective health. It is often used in clinics or hospitals to better understand how patients are affected by their illnesses, and if their health improves after treatment. For this information to be trustworthy, we need to verify how accurately the EQ-5D measures health for the particular patients we want to use it with. This is often done by comparing EQ-5D scores with scores from other questionnaires. For example, if we want to use the EQ-5D with a group of patients with depression, we compare the scores of the EQ-5D with scores from questionnaires that are commonly used to measure depression symptoms.In this study, we compared the scores of the EQ-5D with scores from questionnaires measuring symptoms of depression and anxiety. Their performances were similar, and the EQ-5D scores could also correctly identify which patients had recovered during treatment. This implies that the EQ-5D can be a useful tool for understanding the impact of depression and anxiety and can help in decision-making regarding these patients.
