Of the measures evaluated, the BPI-SF worst pain item has the strongest measurement properties in patients with mCRPC.
Nevertheless, we also find necessary the use of measures evaluating the accuracy of static onset detectors.
However, these measures evaluate the function or behavior of an individual rather than the physical signs and symptoms experienced.
The 'structure' measures evaluate the means and resources used by the health system to deliver services [ 2, 36 ].
With its framework we can investigate to which extent outcome measures evaluate the full scope of health aspects.
Of the three pain measures evaluated, the PPI component of the MPQ has the least evidence to support its future use in clinical trials evaluating mCRPC treatments.
Preference-based measures evaluate the patient's preference for a health state instead of measuring the frequency and the severity of symptoms or disabilities.
This measure evaluates the number of times (the frequency of the candidate term in the corpus) in which a candidate term occurs in a given context.
This measure evaluates the net response of the trunk muscles to a perturbation [ 39].
The first measure evaluates the global quality of the achieved clustering, while the second compares biological relevance using enrichment of biological functions in every subtree of the clusterings.
