After a successful linking procedure, item parameters would be compared among the groups.
This design ensures that the temporal profiles of state- and item-related activity differ and consequently renders them separable; without this procedure item-related activity would summate to produce a state-like response.

First, in the TDC-procedure, items with sufficiently large score values either at baseline or during treatment are selected as reference items for monitoring relative change.
Patient ID procedures (items 1 and 2, Table 3) show high MOR (4.06 and 3.66 respectively) in the empty model, with corresponding ICCs indicating that workplace affiliation explains about 40% and 366 % of the total variance in VBSC adherence between workplaces.
The COPS consists of six dimensions, each dimension is covered by two, three or four questions: Admission procedure (3 items), Nursing care (2 items), Medical care (2 items), Information (4 items), Autonomy (3 items) and Discharge and aftercare (3 items).
