Score the EQ-5D-5L descriptive system (level-sum score)

Source: R/com-instruments-hrqol.R
scoreEQ5D5L.Rd

Sums the five EQ-5D-5L dimension levels (1 = no problems to 5 = extreme problems / unable) to a level-sum score of 5-25, higher indicating worse health. The utility index requires a country-specific value set and is not computed here; the EQ-VAS (0-100) is a separate rating.

scoreEQ5D5L(items, ...)

Arguments

items

Named numeric levels (e.g. mobility = 2, pain_discomfort = 3) or an unnamed vector in the instrument's item order (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression).

...

Passed to scoreInstrument().

Value

A ClinicalScore with the level-sum score (5-25).
