The authors describe the construction of a multiscale informant rating checklist (Cognitive Change Checklist; 3CL) designed to be sensitive to the earliest stages of cognitive decline associated with degenerative dementias.
All relevant factors for the 26 requested images were rated using the checklist.
The BAI [ 25] is a 21-item symptom checklist rated on a 4-point scale (0-3).

Current states of mood were assessed by the Profile of Mood States – short form (POMS-SF) (Shacham, 1983), a 37-adjective checklist rated on a 5-point scale (0='not at all' to 4='extremely').
We calculated the interclass correlation (ICC) for each human-rated checklist item to assess the inter-rater agreement, based on the results of each individual student [ 21].
This was rated on the Drummond checklist as 3A.
The fact that delirium was diagnosed by using the ICDSC score limits the generalizability or our results to studies and cohorts examined and rated with the same checklist.
Overall, the 75 trials were only of poor to moderate quality as rated by the methodological checklist, using the three prime measures of internal validity, which are reported to affect the results of trials [26].
Outcome measures included in identified stroke SMIs were rated using the COSMIN checklist [ 37].
Some items in the ICF checklist were rated as unreliable and immeasurable.
