Refining Scale Measurement: Reassessing Oral Impacts on Daily Performances Properties With Item Response Theory

Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, Volume 54, Issue 1, Page 126-132, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Many oral health‐related quality of life instruments have been developed but few have undergone a comprehensive psychometric assessment. One commonly used measure is the Oral Impact on Daily Performance (OIDP). This study revised the configural and metric properties as well as the performance of items based on Item Response Theory ...

Differences in Item Discrimination of the 25‐Question Geriatric Locomotive Function Scale Between Younger and Middle‐Aged Adults and Older Adults: An Analysis Using the Item Response Theory

Geriatrics &Gerontology International, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction The 25‐item Geriatric Locomotive Function Scale is widely used to identify locomotive syndrome, a condition characterized by progressive decline in motor function. Although its reliability in older adults has been established, item‐level properties across age groups remain unclear.
