Table 3. Impact on HRQoL of measles for the 91 individuals with confirmed measles for whom QALY loss could be calculated using the EQ-5D-3L.

Health-related quality of life results (n = 91) Age under 7 years (n = 15) Age 7–12 years (n = 18) Age 13 years and over (n = 58)
EQ-5D Baseline HRQoL (95% CI) 0.96 (0.93 – 0.98) 0.89 (0.78 – 0.98) 0.98 (0.96 – 1.00) 0.94 (0.91 – 0.97)
EQ-5D Worst day HRQoL (95% CI) 0.00 (−0.09 – 0.09) −0.26 (−0.43 – −0.08) −0.07 (−0.22 – 0.10) −0.05 (−0.13 – 0.04)
VAS Background (95% CI) 92 (90 – 94) 93 (91 – 95) 91 (87 – 95) 89 (86 – 91)
VAS Worst day (95% CI) 21 (17 – 24) 18 (14 – 22) 19 (13 – 25) 19 (15 – 23)
Overall QALY loss (95% CI) 0.019 (0.016 – 0.022) 0.017 (0.012 – 0.022) 0.020 (0.014 – 0.028) 0.019 (0.016 – 0.023)
Overall QALD loss (95% CI) 6.90 (5.84 – 8.02) 6.29 (4.51 – 8.11) 7.28 (5.07 – 10.10) 6.94 (5.73 – 8.33)

95% confidence intervals of the mean are based on 1,000 bootstrap replications. The first column shows results for the whole sample; the subsequent 3 columns split the sample into the three age groups considered.
