It is great to see the EQ-5D-5L as a prioritised tool for measuring chronic pain-related outcomes. Combining generic and condition-specific measures can provide a more comprehensive picture of patient HRQoL and well-being 👇.
Findings from use of NGT will aid the delivery of pharmacotherapy chronic pain services. A combination of the BPI and the more general EQ-5D-5L could be used to capture more insight into the impact of the service on patients.

It's great to see the EQ-5D-5L included in the ICHOM Standard Set for Adults Living with Obesity, measuring what matters to patients is crucial for improving patient care.
Treating obesity should not center solely on weight loss. In order to provide comprehensive obesity care we should use multiple measures to assess for success. ICHOM Set of Patient-Centered Outcome Measures for Adults living with Obesity:.🧠 The EQ-5D-5L measuring generic.
