CANCER
We focused on the EQ-5D-5L index based on the Japanese value set, because the mean differences in the EQ-5D-5L’s index were similar among the three value sets. Thus far, no prior research has estimated the minimally important difference (MID) of the EQ-5D-5L index in cancer. Hence, we briefly estimated it for interpretation using the completed EQ-5D-5L population. In the distribution-based approach, 0.3 and 0.5 standard deviations are often used [
