Findings provide supporting evidence for the EQ-5D-5L in terms of its discriminant validity in informal caregivers of patients with dementia. However, the present ceiling effect suggests that the sensitivity of the EQ-5D-5L to detect improvements may be limited. Further studies are warranted examining other psychometric criteria, including reliability and responsiveness to change.
