Abstract: There is variability across studies in the dimensionality i.e., set of latent variables to which health, social care and wellbeing measures relate. This variability may impact the development of new measures and the identification of bolt-on dimensions. We examine the dimensionality of commonly used measures and identify a set of potential bolt-ons for the EQ-5D-5L.
