Importantly, we observed that the relative ranking of responsiveness of the generic measures (i.e. EQ-5D, RAND12) was influenced by both the responsive indices and external criterion used.
The remaining SF-36 scales, GH, RE and MH were less responsive, with responsiveness indices from 0.24 to 0.52.
Physical functioning, the most important scale for capturing variation between patients and the most responsive according to the responsiveness index, may be appropriate for use by individual patients, including clinical practice [ 10].
Irrespective of the responsiveness index used, the KCCQ Clinical Summary Score and Overall Summary Score were consistently ranked as the most responsive measures.
Grain yield response index showed that each of Giza-168 in 2009/2010 and Sids-12 in 2010/2011 was belonging to efficient-responsive group.
A straightforward solution would be to attempt to produce a better, more responsive, generic index measure.
Following standard practice [ 46], we combined the three positive scales into an overall "responsive caregiving" index (α = .89).89
While the questionnaires have been developed and tested to assess cancer-specific symptoms, disease symptoms of interest are embedded in large, longer QOL questionnaires and cannot readily be aggregated into clinically relevant, responsive symptom indices.
The organic-inorganic amphiphilites exhibited a high density of chemically bonded peripheral fluoroalkyl and hydroxyalkyl groups, in which various characteristic properties involving amphiphilicity, film-forming property, refractive index, responsive surface, nanometer size, and narrow size distribution can be manipulated by varying the composition in the feed.
Simpson's index, more responsive to the dominant cover type, can be used for specific situations where the dominant cover type is of interest, such as single-species reserve design.
