EQ-5D-5L-based quality of life normative data for patients with self-reported diabetes in Poland.

<h4>Introduction</h4>The new, five-level EQ-5D generic questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) has never been used among diabetes patients in Poland.<h4>Objectives</h4>To develop health-related quality of life (HRQoL) norms for patients with self-reported diabetes, based on a large represen...

Treatment with insulin, other drugs, combination therapy or lack of drug treatment was declared by 22.0%, 48.6%, 5.1% and 24.3% of patients, respectively. Respondents with diabetes had a lower EQ VAS score (18.5 points difference on a 100-points scale) and a lower EQ-5D-5L index score (0.135 difference; scale range: 1.59). The multivariate analysis showed that the factors independently improving the HRQoL in the general population were secondary or higher education, and factors reducing HRQoL were female sex, belonging to an older age group, being treated because of diabetes with insulin, other drugs or combination treatment. Respondents diagnosed with diabetes but not treated with drugs showed a decrease in EQ VAS scores, but not in the EQ-5D-5L index.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Diabetes leads to HRQoL deterioration in all age groups when compared to matched general population respondents without diabetes.
