Will there be a mapping study (crosswalk) available to map EQ-5D-Y-5L data to existing EQ-5D-Y-3L value sets? If not, how should data be analysed in the interim?

A mapping study has been commissioned which will allow EQ-5D-Y-5L outcomes to be mapped to existing EQ-5D-Y-3L value sets. Until the results of that study become available, it should be remembered that there are many ways of analysing EQ-5D-Y-5L data and most of them do not require the generation of EQ-5D values (i.e. utilities, or preference weights). For more details on how to analyse EQ-5D-Y-5L data, please see the User Guide. For more information on how to analyse and report EQ-5D data in general, a comprehensive methodological guide has been published.
