Views of the UK General Public on Important Aspects of Health Not Captured by EQ-5D.

Respondents identified several important aspects of health that are not covered by the EQ-5D descriptive system. This study can provide the basis for more detailed qualitative and quantitative research-in particular to examine the views of different patient groups-to inform further review of the EQ-5D descriptive system. The results also have implications for the sensitivity of other generic measures.
