EQ5D consists of 5 subscales; Mobility, Self-care, Usual activities, Pain/Discomfort and Anxiety / depression. A health state score is obtained based on the responses from 1-5 in each subscale, from which a single index value is calculated representing patients' overall health state. EQ5D includes a so called EQ VAS score which is the patients' self-rated health on a 20 cm vertical, visual analogue scale with endpoints labelled "the best health you can imagine" and "the worst health you can imagine".
