#HRQL

An #ISOQOL editorial by Caroline Terwee presents a #SysReview offering a conceptual clarification regarding minimal important change estimates:

An important section highlights that not all patients may be classified correctly with this approach. An MIC value refers to the average of a group of patients:
"In clinical practice, the MIC value should therefore be considered a probabilistic value, rather than a deterministic cut-point."

#HRQL #Feedback

Last week "Quality of Life Research" published 3 articles:

For example:
A #SysReview aggregating 76 studies on the current use of the EORTC QLQ-NMIBC24 and QLQ-BLM30 questionnaires for the assessment of health-related quality of life in bladder cancer patients:

One conclusion is that that studies assessing the validity and reliability of both modules in large patient cohorts remain scarce.

#HRQL #Psychometrics

When #PeerReview identifies discrepancies between a manuscript and its respective #Registration, changing the registration is usually the worst possible option.

Community approaches to this differ, but I would expect to fare well with a section on "Deviations from the Registration".

#PeerReview #Marking #Editing #SysReview

A #SysReview from the "Education for Wellbeing" project investigated the impact of universal, school-based interventions on help-seeking:

We found tentative evidence that interventions impacting interpersonal attitudes produced small effect sizes when measured 3-6 months post intervention; and for intrapersonal attitudes, this remained at 3–6 month follow-up.

Some methodological findings in the picture below.
