Zusammenfassung:To compare the utility scores derived from the 5-level EuroQol 5-dimensional questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L), the visual analogue scale (VAS), and the 6-dimensional health state short form (SF-6D) in Thai patients on peritoneal dialysis. Data were obtained from the 36-Item Kidney Disease Quality of Life questionnaire and the EuroQol questionnaires (EQ-5D-5L and VAS) via face-to-face interview for 64 patients on peritoneal dialysis. We compared the ceiling effect of all the utility tools by calculating the proportion at the highest scores. The mean difference in utility scores defined by patients’ demographic characteristics and clinical laboratory value was evaluated using independent t tests or the Mann-Whitney U test. Moreover, the correlation was assessed using the Pearson correlation coefficient. The agreements among the instruments were illustrated with the Bland and Altman plots. The mean score of the EQ-5D-5L, SF-6D, and VAS were 0.801, 0.784, and 0.733, respectively. The EQ-5D-5L presented a higher percentage of the ceiling effect than did the SF-6D and VAS. The EQ-5D-5L was able to distinguish the mean difference between age groups with significant difference (P
