Table 3

Patient EQ-5D-VAS and EQ-5D-index scores according to severity of hypoglycemia.

HRQoL	Maximum severity of hypoglycemic episodes experienced	Mean (SD)	95% CI	value
EQ-5D-VAS score	None	77.01 (13.02)	75.77, 78.22	0.006
	Mild	73.66 (13.18)	71.27, 76.06
	Moderate	73.56 (15.10)	70.37, 76.45
	Severe/very severe	68.93 (14.76)	62.18, 75.68
EQ-5D index score	None	0.79 (0.31)	0.76, 0.82	<0.001
	Mild	0.62 (0.47)	0.56, 0.69
	Moderate	0.68 (0.38)	0.60, 0.76
	Severe/very severe	0.58 (0.51)	0.40, 0.75

One-way ANOVA. EQ-VAS score ranges from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating better quality of life. EQ-5D index score was calculated using the coefficient from “Social tariff for EuroQol” [11].
