Graph comparing the unadjusted EQ-5D-3L HRQoL utility score for ME/CFS with other chronic illnesses. The ME/CFS patients have the lowest, unadjusted EQ-5D-3L measured HRQoL of 20 conditions, thus even worse than multiple sclerosis and stroke. Overall, the same results are found after controlling for gender, age, education, and co-morbidity, including mental illness.
