Proportion of response variation compared to previous assessment for every individual (N=443) in each health-related quality of life latent class, for each EQ-5D item. Each EQ-5D item has 3 levels: no problems, some problems, extreme problems and thus variation can either be two-level deterioration or improvement, one-level deterioration or improvement, or no change. Results of no change compared to previous assessment are presented below the figure for emphasis on variation between latent classes. EQ-5D is a preference weighted multi-attribute index value for HRQoL
