If it is suspected that currently available PROMs do not cover all aspects which are important to the patient population, additional research may be warranted to expand the item pool, for example in the form of patient interviews.
The S-NAQ has shown psychometric properties using Italian data, which are entirely comparable to those of the original and longer (i.e., 22-item) version, for example, in terms of associations with variables of mental health and well-being [ 30].
Too narrow of a niche would be selling only one, very specific item, for example, antique chairs made in the year 1804.
An item chain may arise, for example, in tests of calculation where it is essential to compute the answer to one question and use that value in another question and, conversely, impossible to answer that question without answering the previous one.
Using the 10 items that comprise the PF scale of SF-36, this improvement represents a change from 'limited a lot' to 'limited a little' on three items in the scale, for example in climbing stairs or walking particular distances.
Using the 10 items that comprise the PF subscale of SF-36, an improvement of 15% represents a change from 'limited a lot' to 'limited a little' on three items in the scale, for example in climbing stairs or walking particular distances.

(One step's decline in the ADL staircase means losing independence in one item; for example, not being able to do one's own grocery shopping or cooking anymore).
