Health-related Quality of Life Measured by the EORTC QLQ-C30: Reference Values From a Large Sample of the Swedish Population
Open accessAbstract
The EORTC QLQ-C30 Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) questionnaire was completed by 3069/3919 (78%) of a random sample of the Swedish population aged 18-79 years. The aims of the study were to provide normative data on the questionnaire and to investigate differences in HRQOL with respect to age, gender, sociodemographic characteristics and reported chronic health problems. Women had lower scores than men on all but one of the EORTC QLQ-C30 subscales and reported more chronic health problems. The oldest respondents (70-79 years) had a greater degree of impaired HRQOL than the other age groups, with one exception, 'Emotional functioning', in which they scored higher. Unemployed respondents reported poorer HRQOL than employed respondents. Higher income was associated with a more positive assessment of HRQOL. The results of the study present reference values for EORTC QLQ-C30 Version 3 questionnaire and clarify the influence of factors which should be taken into account when planning studies of HRQOL.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
