Background: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) has been increasing significantly in the world as well as in Viet Nam. DM is a serious and complex chronic disease that affects the physical health of the patients and lower health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Objectives: (1) To analyze the HRQoL in DM outpatients at Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital. (2) To evaluate the associated factorsin outpatients with DM. Materials and method: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 253 outpatients at Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital. EuroQoL-5 dimension-5 level (EQ-5D-5L) scale was used for the assessment of HRQoL. Results: The median of the EQ-5D index was 0.85(interquartile range (IQR) = 0.28). The mean of EQ-VAS score was 64.07 (SD=16.99). Aging was associated with lower HRQoL. Unemployed participants had the lowest HRQoL index compared to workers. Higher educational levels led to higher HRQoL. Patients withDM duration of over 10 years had lower HRQoL index than the other groups. Conclusion: The median of the EQ-5D index was 0.85 (IQR = 0.28). The mean of EQ-VAS score was 64.07 (SD=16.99). The HRQoL in diabetic patients was associated with age, occupation, level of education and DM duration. Key words: EQ-5D-5L, quality of life, diabetes mellitus.
