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.
