We assessed the sensitivity of the retrospective severity rank order to baseline period duration and found that the retrospective severity index was somewhat sensitive to changing baseline periods (Additional file 1: Figure S6b-d), but that our chosen period best represents baseline age dynamics (Additional file 1: Figure S7).
The order of the items, in terms of 'item severity' should be similarly conceived by patients at all levels of severity (invariant item ordering, IIO, also named 'non intersection').
The purpose of this study was to better understand the interaction between associated treatments and ARDS severity in order to put in context the importance H1N1 influenza as a specific cause.
However, Dean and Barber's tool [ 11] requires four reviewers to rate error severity in order to achieve acceptable reliability, which could potentially be viewed as time consuming and a disadvantage of that particular tool.
We used care seeking as a proxy for severity in order to capture severe obstetric complications.
The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between POEM scores and two global anchor questions concerning patients' overall assessment of their disease severity, in order to establish a range of POEM scores corresponding to five different categories of disease severity.
On the Multidimensional Pain Inventory pain severity, the rank order of the three cluster subgroups in terms of reported pain was dysfunctional (most pain), adaptive copers, and interpersonally distressed (least pain).
