Journal ArticleDOI
Quality criteria were proposed for measurement properties of health status questionnaires
Caroline B. Terwee,Sandra D.M. Bot,Michael R. de Boer,Daniëlle A W M van der Windt,Dirk L. Knol,Joost Dekker,Lex M. Bouter,Henrica C.W. de Vet +7 more
TL;DR: The criteria can be used in systematic reviews of health status questionnaires, to detect shortcomings and gaps in knowledge of measurement properties, and to design validation studies.

The COSMIN checklist for assessing the methodological quality of studies on measurement properties of health status measurement instruments: an international Delphi study
Lidwine B. Mokkink,Caroline B. Terwee,Donald L. Patrick,Jordi Alonso,Paul W. Stratford,Dirk L. Knol,Lex M. Bouter,Lex M. Bouter,Henrica C.W. de Vet +8 more
TL;DR: The resulting COSMIN checklist could be useful when selecting a measurement instrument, peer-reviewing a manuscript, designing or reporting a study on measurement properties, or for educational purposes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elevated C-reactive protein levels in overweight and obese adults.
TL;DR: Higher BMI is associated with higher CRP concentrations, even among young adults aged 17 to 39 years, and these findings suggest a state of low-grade systemic inflammation in overweight and obese persons.
