The psychometric properties of the anaemia (FACT-An) and fatigue (FACT-F) subscales with cancer patients have been assessed (Yellen et al, 1997), and the FACT-An has been validated as an outcome measure for cancer related anaemia (Cella and Bonomi, 1996; Cella, 1997, 1998; Cella and Webster, 1997; Yellen et al, 1997).

A 17-gene biopsy-based reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction assay, which provides a Genomic Prostate Score (GPS scale 0 100), has been validated as an independent predictor of adverse pathology and biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy (RP) in men with low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer (PCa).
Although DE-CMR has been validated as an accurate technique for thrombus, its utility compared with contrast echo is unknown.Multimodality imaging was performed in 121 patients at high risk for thrombus due to myocardial infarction or heart failure.
In addition to high-performance liquid chromatography, capillary electrophoresis (CE) has been validated as an efficient separation method by pharmaceutical companies and regulatory agencies (Fekete et al., 2013; Zhao and Chen, 2014).
Another strength is the applied data collection method, as the use of GPS recently has been validated as an objective measure of running participation both in relation to quantification of running distance in kilometers (Nielsen et al., 2013b) and of running speed (Townshend et al., 2008).
The LIS preceded the first consensus definition of ALI/ARDS (American-European Consensus Committee (AECC) deforition for ALI/ARDS) in 1994, [9] and was designed to measure the pathophysiological features of ARDS; however, it has not been validated as an accurate measure of lung injury severity and its use is not specific to ARDS [10].
