Therefore, we had to validate them by assessing the concurrent validity in respect of self reported activity limitations in daily living and pain.
The data analysis primarily involves application of confirmatory factor analysis for validating the instrument in respect of unidimensionality, reliability, convergent validity, discriminant validity, nomological validity and criterion-related validity.
Four of the generative models surveyed in this article: Kumar et al. [83], Wang et al. [84], Gómez et al. [85], and Backstrom et al. [86] were validated in this respect with data from multiple online discussion platforms.
Standardized scores (FibroTest, FibroMax) and imaging techniques (FibroScan) have been validated in this respect.
Conclusion: This validated closed-format questionnaire appears to be unique in respect of cochlear implantation, being based explicitly on issues thought important by the parents.
We would recommend that further research be undertaken in respect of validation of the tools and models we sent out to identify in relation to validating the psychometric properties and efficacy of each tool and model.
This index, created using an analysis based on over 14,000 patients and validated in a cohort of over 38,000, provides an accurate assessment of prognosis with respect to patients presenting with CAP.
In this respect, establishment of a consensus test method that assesses experimentally verified, most relevant CpG sites for transcriptional regulation, and is clinically validated in comparative analyses of the various techniques would be most desirable.
Doctors and nurses of all participating institutions will be asked about their knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) with respect to BC diagnostics using a structured questionnaire that has already been developed and validated in the first phase of the study.
