We used the Summary of Diabetes Self Care Activities scale (SDSCA) [ 40] to measure the frequency of diabetes-related self-management activities undertaken over the preceding seven days.
Data will be collected at Time 1 and Time 2, and will be measured using the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) [ 25].
Questionnaires (in English and Chinese versions) will be used for collecting data at Time 1 and Time 2. Self management behaviour will assessed using the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities [ 21, 22].
Dietary habits, exercise, blood glucose testing, foot care and smoking habits were recorded using the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities survey, which is a brief, reliable and valid measure of these lifestyle behaviours [ 35].
Self-care behavior, perceptions about blood sugar, and motivation for behavior change were assessed using the Summary of Diabetes Self-care Activities, Perceptions of Blood Sugar Control and the Readiness Index instruments, respectively.
Other concurrent developments that may influence future research and testing of our approach include the GRADE approach, as mentioned, for rating the quality of included studies [ 36- 38], and the development of lay summaries of Cochrane reviews using the Summary of Findings tables [ 2, 39].
They all seek to maximize evidence, the first one from the relationships (cladograms) using the summaries of data as evidence, and the other two derived directly from characters using data observation as evidence [ 31].
To simulate the patient population of the OHTS, 50 cases of ocular hypertension were generated using the summary statistics of the OHTS population [ 28].
Physical performance was measured using the summary scale of the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) [ 1].
