It is diagnosed in the presence of subjective cognitive decline and objective cognitive impairment without significant functional impairment, although there are no standard operationalizations for each of these criteria.
Its role is to develop policies, strategies and standards for the operationalization of the whole system.
Absent a standard, a clear definition and operationalization of children's competence is needed.
Although the Beighton score is still considered to be the "gold standard" for classifying GJH, aspects of its operationalization and the validity of the cut-off values are still in need of further research and a revision of the way GJH is determined is needed [ 40].
Meeting these methodological standards plus being transparent in the reporting on the exact operationalization of EM, may help EM to approach its gold-standard aspirations.
In analyses of all operationalizations of response capability the largest standard deviation of mean difference for height were seen among students with low response capability indicating a larger random measurement error.
In analyses of all operationalizations of response capability the largest standard deviation of mean difference for weight were seen among students with low response capability indicating a lower reporting precision (random measurement error).
One could imagine certifications from professional societies and public institutions entailing not just formal and legal standards but also specifications for a suitable representation and operationalization of patients' experience and satisfaction.
Recently, standardized protocols have been described regarding the operationalization of the Beighton score [ 31].
Finally, the measure of IPV used is limited by its operationalization through only two items.
> We also analyzed the data by considering the technical classification as a diagnostic test, using the clinical classification as a gold standard, and calculating sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratios for the three different operationalizations (Table 4).
