The aim of this study was to investigate the performance of the recent EQ-5D-Y instrument compared with the standard EQ-5D in assessing the health-related quality of life of high school children in Cape Town. Either the EQ-5D or the EQ-5D-Y was given to high school children. The sample consisted of 521 respondents. The EQ-5D-Y was found to be superior in that there were statistically significan...

Objective: To analyse the psychometric properties of the EuroQol questionnaire (EQ-5D) applied to patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Setting: Rehabilitation hospital. Patients and design: 106 consecutive patients with ACS (51% myocardial infarction, 42% coronary artery bypass grafting, 7% angina) completed the EQ-5D, the 36 item short form health survey (SF-36), and the MacNew questi...

Objective: To estimate an interim five-level EuroQol five-dimensional (EQ-5D-5L) value set for Poland on the basis of the crosswalk methodology developed by the EuroQol Group. Methods: On the basis of data from 3691 respondents from six European countries, the EuroQol Group has developed a method of obtaining interim value sets for the EQ-5D-5L by means of mapping to the available three-level E...

We attempt a unification of the Quantum and the Statistical Mechanics of a single spinless particle. We consider a five dimensional (5D) space-time with no matter. We postulate that all the physical information on a 5D massless particle propagation is provided by the statistics over null paths in this 5D space-time. If the 5D metric does not depend on the fifth space-like coordinate, then the p...

INTRODUCTION The new, five-level version of the EQ-5D (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaire has better psychometric properties than the standard three-level version (EQ-5D-3L), including a reduced ceiling effect. Currently, there are few existing population norms for the EQ-5D-5L. The aims of this study were to provide population norms for the EQ-5D-5L in Poland, based on a representative sample of adults, ...

5d Solid-state oxides K0.84OsO3 (Os5.16+; 5d2.84) and Bi2.93Os3O11 (Os4.40+; 5d3.60) were synthesized under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions (6 GPa and 1500-1700 °C). Their crystal structures were determined by synchrotron x-ray diffraction and their 5d electronic properties and tunnel-like structure motifs were investigated. A KSbO3-type structure with a space group of Im-3 and Pn...

conclusions although the two instruments were able to discriminate between various states, the values derived from these instruments were quite different. this distinction could have influenced the conclusions of an economic evaluation. further research is required to determine which instrument should be used in economic evaluations. results the mean and median eq-5d utility scores for the tota...

We show that the existence of stable, ordered 3d-5d intermetallics CuAu and NiPt, as opposed to the unstable 3d-4d isovalent analogs CuAg and NiPd, results from relativity. First, in shrinking the equilibrium volume of the 5d element, relativity reduces the atomic size mismatch with respect to the 3d element, thus lowering the elastic packing strain. Second, in lowering the energy of the bondin...
