Quality of life measures in health care. II: Design, analysis, and interpretation.
Open accessAbstract
The design, analysis, and interpretation of studies using measures of quality of life vary according to the context of use.In this paper we are primarily con- cerned with quality of life measures in clinical trials but our comments are relevant in other contexts. DesignApart from the usual considerations of good study design, particular issues in studies measuring quality of life are the choice of dimensions and the selection of instruments to measure these dimensions.There are also several practical considerations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
