Computing EQ-5D-5L index values with SPSS using the Italian (IT) Finch et al value set
Version 1.1 (Updated 26/01/2022)


The variables for the 5 dimensions of the EQ-5D-5L descriptive system should be named 'mobility', 
'selfcare', 'activity', 'pain', and 'anxiety'. If they are given different names the syntax code 
below will not work properly. The 5 variables should contain the values for the different dimensions
 in the EQ-5D health profile (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5). The variable 'EQindex' contains the values of the 
EQ-5D-5L index values on the basis of the Italian set of weights. 

You can copy and paste the syntax below directly into a SPSS syntax window.

IF (pain=4) disut_pd=0.353.
IF (pain=5) disut_pd=0.408.

IF (anxiety=1) disut_ad=0.
IF (anxiety=2) disut_ad=0.044.
IF (anxiety=3) disut_ad=0.109.
IF (anxiety=4) disut_ad=0.318.
IF (anxiety=5) disut_ad=0.322.

Compute disut_total= disut_mo +disut_sc +disut_ua +disut_pd +disut_ad.

Compute EQindex = 1-disut_total.
Formats EQindex(F8.3).
