Abstract
Objectives: The EQ-5D-5L and its value sets are widely used internationally. However, in the US and elsewhere, there is growing use of PROMIS, which has a value set (PROPr) based on the stated preferences of the US population. This paper aims to compare the characteristics of EQ-5D-5L and PROPr value sets and to highlight potential implications for users. Methods: US, Australian and English value sets were used for EQ-5D-5L. PROPr utilities were calculated based on PROMIS-29 + 2. We examined, in each case, (i) the characteristics (e.g. range of values, number of unique values) and distribution of all possible ‘theoretical’ utilities; (ii) dimension/domain importance ranking by the utility of..
