The EuroQol Instrument

2006
The raison d’etre of the EuroQol Instrument is to provide a simple “abstracting” device, for use alongside other more detailed measures of health-related quality of life (henceforth HRQoL), to serve as a basis for comparing health care outcomes using a basic “common core” of QoL characteristics which most people are known to value highly.

Using the SF-36 and Euroqol on an elderly population
