Clinical Trial Data on HRQOL Measurement for Chronic Knee and Back Pain

1200 Chinese adult patients with doctor-diagnosed knee or back problems were randomized into intervention and control groups for a 12-month study. The dataset contains results from a trial assessing the impact of routine electronic EQ-5D-5L measurement on outcomes including WOMAC, PEI-2, PRS, and SF-6D scores. It was authored by Will H.G. Cheng and last updated on 2026-04-15.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the effect of routine HRQOL measurement on patient enablement based on PEI-2 scores.
• Comparing treatment patterns between study groups based on reported management options like oral medications and specialist referrals.
• Modeling longitudinal changes in pain and function based on WOMAC and PRS scores collected at follow-up visits.
• Investigating the relationship between different health utility measures (EQ-5D-5L, SF-6D) within a chronic pain population.

Strengths

• Dataset size is 1.3 MB, indicating a manageable file for analysis.
• Study design involved 1200 randomized participants, providing a substantial sample.
• Outcomes include multiple validated instruments (WOMAC, PEI-2, PRS, SF-6D).
• Data is shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the study's Chinese patient population.
