测量是科学的基础。在医学上,测量是大多数临床决策的基础。类风湿性关节炎临床试验的结果测量(OMERACT)是一个非正式的专业合作小组,致力于改善风湿性疾病的结果测量。OMERACT过程的方法学特征在OMERACT过滤器中被捕获-真实性、鉴别力和可行性。使用OMERACT过滤器的关键要素,提供了一个用于评估报告测量的综合检查表。该清单指导潜在用户回答一系列问题。该清单也是在测量领域工作的研究人员的重要资源。(C)2006年由Elsevier Ltd代表国际骨关节炎研究协会出版。
Measurement is fundamental to science. In medicine measurement underpins most clinical decisions. Outcome measures for rheumatoid arthritis clinical trials (OMERACT) is an informal collaborative group of professionals dedicated to improving outcome measurement in the rheumatic disease. The methodologic hallmark of the OMERACT process is captured in the OMERACT filter - truth, discrimination, and feasibility. Using the key elements of the OMERACT filter a comprehensive checklist for evaluating reported measures is provided. The checklist guides the potential user through a series of questions. The checklist is also an important resource for researchers working in the field of measurement. (C) 2006 Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of OsteoArthritis Research Society International.
