Table 1.

Numbers (percentages) of respondents reporting a problem in each EuroQoL dimension

EuroQoL dimension Problem
Moderate Extreme Any
Mobility 620 (18.3) 3 (0.1) 623 (18.4)
Self care 139 (4.1)  5 (0.1) 144 (4.2) 
Usual activities 481 (14.2) 70 (2.1)  551 (16.3)
Pain/discomfort 988 (29.2) 129 (3.8)   1117 (33.0) 
Anxiety/depression 648 (19.1) 62 (1.8)  710 (20.9)
Any dimensions* 1441 (42.4)  212 (6.2)   1456 (43.1)

Although row totals within dimension are internally consistent, there is apparent anomaly in the final row. 1441 respondents reported a moderate problem in at least one dimension and 212 reported an extreme problem; these two dimensions are not mutually exclusive as respondents may have reported an extreme problem in one dimension, with no intermediate level of problem being reported for remaining dimension. Hence total of 1456 does not equate to addition of two previous table entries.
