Have the psychometric properties of the EQ-5D-Y-5L been tested?

The psychometric properties of the EQ-5D-Y-5L have been published in 18 studies to date.1 Most of these studies have compared the performance of the EQ-5D-Y-5L to the EQ-5D-Y-3L. Noteworthy results include reduced ceiling effects, and evidence for improved construct validity and responsiveness on the EQ-5D-Y-5L compared to the EQ-5D-Y-3L in some populations and conditions. The EQ-5D-Y-5L performed similarly to the EQ-5D-Y-3L when assessing test-retest reliability, child-caregiver agreement and missing responses. Further publications detailing the psychometric performance of the EQ-5D-Y-5L are anticipated.
