The third annual questionnaire covers more extensive items to update important information obtained at baseline.
Future research efforts should also focus on assessing test-retest reliability in a larger sample to obtain more precise estimates, identifying a subset of items that performs as well as this 80-item version, a more extensive analysis of construct validity, evaluation of a self-administered version, and assessment of responsiveness to change.
However, QUADAS is the generic part of what in practice may be a more extensive tool incorporating design and topic specific items.
The Minimal Insomnia Symptom Scale (MISS) was developed from a more extensive sleep questionnaire and is a brief, three item screening instrument [ 1].
After recoding contra-indicative items, the scores on the six items were added up and a higher score represented a more extensive search and selection behaviour in the care process, that is: more active choice behaviour.
Given the high level of redundancy in our initial issue list, it is unlikely that a more extensive literature search would have generated a substantial number of additional relevant items.
The next item enquires about sphincter ruptures (grades 3 and 4), defined as a more extensive rupture through parts or all of the anal sphincter and possibly the rectal mucosa.
A more extensive characterization of the subscales is provided in the article, along with all of the instrument items (see Appendix).
According to the accounts of increased neural plasticity for language in the multilingual brain28, we hypothesised that a more extensive non-native language learning history would benefit the establishment of memory traces for novel non-native items.
After recoding contra-indicative items, the scores on the six items were added up (range 6-24) and a higher score on this scale represented a more extensive search and selection behaviour in the care process.
It will be a more extensive procedure.
