Abstract

The European Quality of Life Scale (EuroQoL) is a generic instrument for describing and valuing health-related quality of life. An international team, the EuroQoL Group, developed it in 1987. The EuroQoL was first published in 1990 and has undergone slight changes. The five-dimensional EuroQoL, the EQ-5D, has remained unchanged since 1991. This paper describes the EQ-5D in greater detail, including its use in trauma and injury research. It is concluded that, before the EQ-5D can be fully adopted in injury research, additional studies are needed.
