IntroductionMigraine imposes a substantial burden on patients, society, and healthcare systems. This study aimed to assess the associations between the number of headache-free days (HFDs) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL), work productivity and activity impairment (WPAI), and healthcare resource utilization (HRU) in patients with migraine in the EU5 (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom).MethodsThis retrospective cross-sectional study collected survey responses from adults aged >= 18 years from the 2017 National Health and Wellness Survey (N=62,000). Migraine patients with a physician's diagnosis of migraine and who had experienced at least 4 monthly headache days in the prior month were included (N=1569). Number of HFDs was compared with Short-Form 12-Item Survey Instrument, version 2 (SF-12v2) physical and mental component summary scores (PCS and MCS), Short-Form-6D (SF-6D) and EuroQoL-5D (EQ-5D) scores, WPAI, and HRU in migraine patients. Correlation analyses were conducted to test the bivariate associations, whereas generalized linear models were used for multivariable analyses.ResultsAn increase of 1 HFD was associated with average increases of 0.171, 0.306, 0.003, and 0.008 points for MCS, PCS, SF-6D utility score, and EQ-5D index score, respectively (p
