This study presents a novel methodology for developing a PRO instrument, based on three sources: literature reporting what is important to patient; theoretically coherent framework; and patients' experience of completing the instrument.
3 These recommendations were based on five systematic literature reviews (SLRs) 4 8 and focused on indications for the use of, and suggestions for, differential and strategic employment of csDMARDs and bDMARDs based on treatment targets, disease risk assessment, safety aspects and contraindications.
Based on four recent literature reviews [11– 14] and additional searches in PubMed and Google Scholar (April 2011) we identified a total of nine studies in the English language which had assessed possible effects of changes in on-premise trading hours on violence (Table 1).
This study presents a novel methodology for developing a new PRO instrument, based on three sources: literature that reports what is important to patients (content coverage) and which provides a body of empirical evidence for item generation; theoretically coherent framework (theoretical coverage); and patients' experience of completing the instrument (acceptability).
To illustrate the performance of the ZR technique, simulations have been done based on two channels found in literature as well as for the general case of Rayleigh fading.
Also, theoretical calculations, based on two different methods from literature, using the measured geometric texture parameters show that polymer replicates satisfy criteria for a stable Cassie Baxter wetting regime.
Based on two studies from the literature, we selected the two shortened domains, the pain domain composed of three items and the function domain composed of eight items.
The evaluation of population designs based on two pharmacokinetic examples from the literature is shown to illustrate the efficiency and the simplicity of this theoretic approach.
The selection of negative examples to integrate the negative data was based on two methods described in the literature [ 95].
The selection of biopsychosocial factors for the study was based on two published reviews of the literature [ 15, 16].
