We therefore aligned other assessment tools to the CINS to complement and extend assessment of student learning.
To extend assessment of infant birth weight, maternal reports of relative infant size at birth were included; this measure has questionable reliability and validity.
The aim of this audit was to extend assessment of practice beyond the scope of previous work so as to include a comprehensive assessment of the approaches to lifestyle modification and medical management of gout itself, and to assess the extent to which such management is in line with current best practice guidelines.
Both the MAA and the IMS assessment platform are in line with the Consensus Statement and Recommendations from the 2010 Ottawa conference which states that "the medical education community still needs to develop a deeper understanding of how technology can underpin and extend assessment practices" [ 18].
RGS9/ R9AP-associated retinopathy can be distinguished from oligocone trichromacy on the basis of molecular screening and distinct electrophysiologic findings following extended assessment.
How this can be done reliably without greatly extending assessment time, particularly with low-intensity workers, also needs to be considered.
Moreover, we have to extend our assessments: at the moment, we carefully forecast energy demand and assess potential resources that could be used to supply this demand.
For this purpose our study made use of web-technology to extend PRO assessments beyond the hospital setting.
In this study, the aim was to extend these assessments to communities with different lifestyles, including nomadic and semi-nomadic pastoralists who depend nearly exclusively on their livestock for nutritional needs, to further document an ecological linkage between human blood retinol and food sources like livestock milk in the southeastern Lake Chad area.
Even if the discriminant validity of kinematic variables as measures of UL impairment is still unclear, it appears that kinematic assessments extend clinical scales, assessing sensorimotor function in a more objective and reliable way and in repeatable conditions [ 42, 43].
