In general, false positive rates increase dramatically when using rating scale assessments. McCann and Roy-Byrne12 tested the ability of three different rating scales—the Adult Rating Scale (ARS), the Attention-Deficit Scale for Adults (ADSA), and the Symptom Inventory for ADHD (SI-ADHD)—to...
Different rating scales (three-point, five-point and nine-point rating scale) lead to different consensus despite moderate to high correlation between rating scales (r = 0.65 to 0.74). Final consensus was highly influenced by the choice of rating scale with 14 (three-point), 6 (five-...
Also, it may be necessary to adjust the behavioral anchors of the rating scale if the time frame is adjusted, particularly when ratings are based on frequency of symptom occurrence. Operational definitions for each symptom item are critical for reliable assessment of the item because of differences...
The most appropriate threshold for defining a clinically relevant, within‐person response was ≥ 2–4‐point change in the Peak Pruritus NRS . Conclusions The Peak Pruritus NRS is a well‐defined, reliable, sensitive and valid scale for evaluating worst itch intensity in adults with moderate‐to...
The Dysphagia Severity Rating Scale (DSRS), which grades how severe dysphagia is based on fluid and diet modification and supervision requirements for feeding, is used for clinical research but has limited published validation information. Multiple approaches were taken to validate the DSRS, including...
The standard US air quality rating scale range is from 0 to 500. A low index number serves as an indicator that the air quality is good, whereas a moderate index number shows that the amount of pollutants present in the air may be concerning, and a high index number means that the air...
Second, the difficulties in the accumulation and annotation of clinical cases remain a barrier to constructing a large-scale training dataset. Therefore, it is necessary to design a data-efficient DL method for clinical deployment. Third, previous studies have not validated to what extent their ...
For extrapolation in low flow ranges, it is better to plot the curve on a simple graph paper since zero discharge cannot be plotted on a log scale. A rating curve is smoothly extended. The extrapolation in high flow ranges should be attempted with utmost caution and only if indirect methods...
S&P may add a "+" or a "-" to letter grades to "show relative standing within the rating categories." This means that an AA+ rating is slightly higher than an AA grade. S&P uses a different scale for long- and short-term debt. Short-term bonds considered investment quality are rated...
