Abstract

Objectives

There is a lack of monitoring changes in the population scores of the most recent version, EQ-5D-5L, in mainland China. This study aimed to address this knowledge gap by assessing the EQ-5D-5L scores in mainland China using a nationally representative sample.

Methods

Data were extracted from the 2021 Survey of Health Index of Chinese Families, which covered 31 provinces/autonomous regions/municipalities in mainland China. The survey used a multistage quota sampling strategy encompassing 120 prefecture-level cities. Quotas were allocated to each prefecture-level city in accordance with the 2020 China Population Census. This approach resulted in a final sample of 11 030 eligible questionnaires. The utility index (UI) and EuroQol Visual Analog Scale (EQ VAS) scores were reported for the entire sample (age-gender-urban/rural weighted) and by the characteristics of the study participants.

Results

The study participants had a weighted mean UI of 0.939 (SD 0.135) and EQ VAS score of 80.19 (SD 18.39). The most commonly reported problem was anxiety/depression (26.37%), whereas self-care was the least reported problem (6.18%). Those who were male, were younger, lived without chronic conditions and disabilities, had higher levels of education, earned higher monthly household income, and were covered by basic medical insurance for urban employees had higher scores in both the UI and EQ VAS.

Conclusion

This study revealed slightly lower UI scores despite a much higher drop in EQ VAS scores whereas China maintained minimum cases of COVID-19 in 2021 compared with the population norms recorded in 2019. Further studies are warranted to unveil the full impacts of COVID-19 outbreaks.

中国大陆 EQ-5D-5L 人口得分：2021 年全国代表性调查的结果。

目的：中国大陆缺乏对最新版 EQ-5D-5L 人口评分变化的监测。本研究旨在利用具有全国代表性的样本，评估中国大陆的 EQ-5D-5L 评分，以填补这一知识空白：数据来自 2021 年中国家庭健康指数调查，该调查覆盖中国大陆 31 个省/自治区/直辖市。调查采用多阶段配额抽样策略，涵盖 120 个地级市。每个地级市的配额根据 2020 年中国人口普查结果进行分配。通过这种方法，最终获得了 11,030 份符合条件的问卷样本。报告了整个样本的效用指数和 EQ 视觉模拟量表（VAS）得分（年龄-性别-城乡加权）以及研究参与者的特征：研究参与者的加权平均效用指数为 0.939（SD=0.135），EQ VAS 得分为 80.19（SD=18.39）。最常报告的问题是焦虑/抑郁（26.37%），而自我护理是最少报告的问题（6.18%）。男性、年轻、无慢性病和残疾、受教育程度较高、家庭月收入较高、参加城镇职工基本医疗保险的人在效用指数和 EQ VAS 方面的得分都较高：本研究表明，与 2019 年记录的人口标准相比，尽管 EQ VAS 分数的下降幅度更大，但 2021 年中国 COVID-19 的病例数仍保持在最低水平。要揭示 COVID-19 爆发的全部影响，还需要进一步研究。
