Abstract EN
Background and Objectives: Assessment of health-related quality of life (QoL) and particularly utility values are important components of health economic analyses.
However, no consensus has emerged regarding the most appropriate instrument within a therapeutic area such as chronic pelvic pain (CPP).
Thus, this study compared two instruments EuroQoL-five dimensions-3 levels (EQ-5D-3L) and Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) for their validity in patients with CPP.
Methods: This was an intervention study, parallel design intersubject and intrasubject variabilities, was conducted in the hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Damascus University over 2 years.
The participants in this study were 70 women with CPP who underwent laparoscopic adhesiolysis.
The women were assessed at 0 and 6 months for QoL measures SF-36 and EQ-5D-3L.
Results: Out of 70 participants who underwent laparoscopy, 60 qualified to take part in this study after doing the operation.
Moderate correlations among the majority of dimensions was seen.
In SF-36, the most severe problems were seen in the dimensions VT-BP and mental health according to the level of severity of pain.
In EQ-5D-3L, patients most frequently noted having sever problems in pain/discomfort dimension and in the second place usual activity and anxiety/depression.
Both tools could differentiate between the severity levels of pain, but EQ-5D-3L was more responsive to deterioration in pain.
SF-36 had a higher response means to improvements.
Conclusions: SF-36 appears to be more appropriate to be used among patients with CPP.
