Patient Reported Outcomes and Measures in Children with Rhabdomyosarcoma

open access: yesCancers, 2023
In addition to optimising survival of children with rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), more attention is now focused on improving their quality of life (QOL) and reducing symptoms during treatment, palliative care or into long-term survivorship. QOL and ongoing symptoms related to the disease and its treatment are outcomes that should ideally be patient-reported (

Outcome Assumptions and Duality Theory for Balancing Weights [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
We study balancing weight estimators, which reweight outcomes from a source population to estimate missing outcomes in a target population. These estimators minimize the worst-case error by making an assumption about the outcome model. In this paper, we show that this outcome assumption has two immediate implications.

Does scrolling affect measurement equivalence of electronic patient-reported outcome measures (ePROM)? Results of a quantitative equivalence study

open access: yesJournal of Patient-Reported Outcomes, 2021
Background Scrolling is a perceived barrier in the use of bring your own device (BYOD) to capture electronic patient reported outcomes (ePROs). This study explored the impact of scrolling on the measurement equivalence of electronic patient-reported ...

On the Actionability of Outcome Prediction [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Predicting future outcomes is a prevalent application of machine learning in social impact domains. Examples range from predicting student success in education to predicting disease risk in healthcare. Practitioners recognize that the ultimate goal is not just to predict but to act effectively.

How continuous quantum measurements in finite dimension are actually discrete [PDF]

open access: yesPhys. Rev. Lett. 98, 190403 (2007), 2007
We show that in finite dimension a quantum measurement with continuous set of outcomes is always equivalent to a continuous random choice of measurements with only finite outcomes.

Modern psychometrics applied in rheumatology - a systematic review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background Although item response theory (IRT) appears to be increasingly used within health care research in general, a comprehensive overview of the frequency and characteristics of IRT analyses within the rheumatic field is lacking. An overview of the

Patient-reported outcome measures for cancer caregivers: a systematic review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Purpose Informal caregivers provide invaluable help and support to people with cancer. As treatments extend survival and the potential burdens on carers increase, there is a need to assess the impact of the role.

The space of measurement outcomes as a spectrum for non-commutative algebras [PDF]

open access: yesEPTCS 26, 2010, pp. 127-133, 2010
Bohrification defines a locale of hidden variables internal in a topos. We find that externally this is the space of partial measurement outcomes. By considering the double negation sheafification, we obtain the space of measurement outcomes which coincides with the spectrum for commutative C*-algebras.

Outcome-based Evaluation of Systematic Review Automation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Current methods of evaluating search strategies and automated citation screening for systematic literature reviews typically rely on counting the number of relevant and not relevant publications. This established practice, however, does not accurately reflect the reality of conducting a systematic review, because not all included publications have the ...

Usage of glaucoma-specific patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in the Singapore context: a qualitative scoping exercise

open access: yesBMC Ophthalmology, 2018
Background Despite the increasing emphasis on the role of glaucoma-specific patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) as relevant outcome measures for the impact of glaucoma and its intervention on patients' daily lives, the feasibility of implementing ...
