Our objective was to evaluate both utility indices and PROMs using generic and eye specific QOL in glaucomatous patients compared with normal population.Methods: This is a case-control study. We interviewed normal and glaucomatous participants with the European Quality of Life questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L), the European visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS) and the visual function questionnaire 28 (Thai version) (VFQ-28). The visual function questionnaire utility index (VFQ-UI) and generic utility index from EQ-5D-5L were calculated.Results: There were 47 normal and 127 glaucomatous participants in this study. Amongst glaucoma group, 35 participants were in the early stage of the disease, 43 were in the moderate stage, 30 normal vision participants were in the severe stage, 14 participants had blindness one eye, and 5 had blindness both eyes. The mean age of the participants in both groups was statistically similar (63.78± 6.84 vs 66.30± 8.93 years old, respectively, p=0.062). Underlying diseases between groups were also comparable. The EQ-5D-5L utility index score and the EQ-VAS score were not statistically different between normal and glaucomatous groups, respectively (EQ-5D-5L: 0.874± 0.122 vs 0.837± 0.191, p=0.215; EQ VAS: 76.06± 15.07 vs 74.02 ± 15.10, p=0.43). By contrast, VFQ-UI of the glaucomatous group was significantly lower than that of the normal group, (VFQ-UI: 0.833± 0.147 vs 0.895± 0.070, accordingly, p< 0.05).Conclusions: Utility index from the VFQ-UI was a relevant PROMs for evaluating the QOL of glaucomatous patients in terms of visual function specificity and acceptable validity.Keywords: quality of life in glaucomatous patients, utility index of glaucoma, patient-reported outcome measures, PROMs, the visual function questionnaire utility index in glaucoma, VFQ-UI, the European Quality of Life questionnaire in glaucoma, EQ-5D-5L, the visual function questionnaire 28 Thai-version, VFQ-28Rojananuangnit KSudjinda NDove Medical Pressarticlequality of life in glaucomatous patientsutility index of glaucomapatient-reported outcome measures (proms)the visual function questionnaire utility index (vfq-ui) in glaucomathe european quality of life questionnaire (eq-5d-5l) in glaucomathe visual function questionnaire 28 thai-version (vfq-28)OphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 15, Pp 835-843 (2021)
