Description: The EQ-5D is a widely-used standardised instrument for
        measuring Health Related Quality Of Life (HRQOL), developed by
        the EuroQol group <https://euroqol.org/>. It assesses five
        dimensions; mobility, self-care, usual activities,
        pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression, using either a
        three-level (EQ-5D-3L) or five-level (EQ-5D-5L) scale. Scores
        from these dimensions are commonly converted into a single
        utility index using country-specific value sets, which are
        critical in clinical and economic evaluations of healthcare and
        in population health surveys. The eq5dsuite package enables
        users to calculate utility index values for the EQ-5D
        instruments, including crosswalk utilities using the original
        crosswalk developed by van Hout et al. (2012)
        <doi:10.1016/j.jval.2012.02.008> (mapping EQ-5D-5L responses to
        EQ-5D-3L index values), or the recently developed reverse
        crosswalk by van Hout et al. (2021)
        <doi:10.1016/j.jval.2021.03.009> (mapping EQ-5D-3L responses to
        EQ-5D-5L index values). Users are allowed to add and/or remove
        user-defined value sets. Additionally, the package provides
        tools to analyse EQ-5D data according to the recommended
        guidelines outlined in "Methods for Analyzing and Reporting
        EQ-5D data" by Devlin et al. (2020)
