Mapping AcroQOL scores to Eq-5d to obtain utility values for patients with acromegaly.

CONCLUSIONS: A mapping algorithm was developed for mapping of AcroQoL to EQ-5D, using patient level data from 3 previously published studies, and including validation in confirmatory sub-sample. Mean (SD) utilities index in this study population was estimated as 0.71(0.28). Additional research may be needed to test this mapping algorithm in other acromegaly populations.
