Comparison of the Multiattribute Utility Instruments EQ-5D and SF-6D in a Europe-Wide Population-Based Cohort of Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease 10 Years after Diagnosis

Table 4

EQ-5D and SF-6D index scores and subjectively perceived disease activities.

	Current symptoms	Yes	No	Flares in the previous year	Yes	No
EQ-5D scores	Mean; (95% CI)	0.69; (0.66–0.72)	0.88; (0.86–0.89)		0.75; (0.71–0.76)	0.82
	Median	0.76	1.0		0.80	0.85
SF-6D; scores	Mean; (95% CI)	0.71; (0.69–0.72)	0.81; (0.8–0.82)		0.74; (0.71–0.76)	0.78; (0.77–0.79)
	Median	0.70	0.85		0.75	0.80
AUC (95% CI)
EQ-5D	0.76; (0.72–0.79)			0.61; (0.56–0.66)
SF-6D	0.72; (0.68–0.76)			0.6; (0.54–0.65)

Mean (95% confidence interval) and median utility indices with and without symptoms/flares in the previous year; significance of the differences between symptoms/no symptoms and flares/no flares: (-test and Mann-Whitney test).
AUC: area under the ROC curve dependent on the information regarding current symptoms or flares in the previous year (95% confidence interval).
