Calidad de vida relacionada con la salud en personas chilenas con enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica / Health-related quality of life in Chilean patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
The mean (± SD) SF-6D utility index for Chilean patients with COPD was 0.65 ± 0.15. The scores for men and women were 0.68 ± 0.15 and 0.64 ± 0.15, respectively. Patients with high incomes and educational level reported higher SF-6D scores. Ceiling effect was not a limitation when SF-6D was used in these Chilean patients.
Conclusions:
The current study provides normative values of SF-6D derived from SF-12 for Chilean patients with COPD.
