An advantage of the EuroQol is that it is short and that an overall utility score for population-based quality of life can be obtained, which facilitates comparisons with other interventions and health states in other disease areas.
The approach enables health state values to be derived from OHIP-14 scores for populations where utility has not or cannot be measured directly.
The findings enable health state values to be derived from OHIP-14 scores for populations where utility has not or cannot be measured directly.
For comparisons relative to other neurological conditions, baseline SF-36 scores for the study sample were compared with other published scores for populations with Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis.
When the standardized deviation of the average FCA score for each population from the overall average across all populations for the three axes was calculated it ranged from 1.05 (Blackwater River) to 4.90 (Murray Creek, Fig. 3A).
When the standardized deviation of the average PCA score for each population from the overall average across all populations for the three axes was calculated, it ranged from 1.19 (Skinny Lake) to 5.35 (Murray Creek, Fig. 3B).
In addition, they found a mathematical relationship between the mean DMF score for a population and the prevalence of caries within that population.
Therefore, we tested the predictive accuracy and calibration of the APPS in a cohort of consecutive prospectively identified ARDS patients in two university hospitals in the Netherlands and recalibrated the score for our population of patients.
The mean OIDP score for the population was 4.15 ± 5.94.
Mean score for the population was 1.27 (SD 0.36).
