Construct validity, reliability and responsiveness of the 10-item Well-being instrument (WiX) for use in economic evaluation studies
Economic evaluations of interventions in health and social care require outcome measures that capture their full benefits, including those beyond health. The aim of this study was to assess construct validity, test-retest reliability, and responsiveness of the newly developed 10-item Well-being instrument (WiX). (Source: Value in Health)

Multi-Dimensional Thresholding for Individual-Level Preference Elicitation
A wide range of methods are available for generating health preference information. Choosing an adequate method when designing a study is important for ensuring robust results and fit-for-purpose outputs. While multiple methods overviews have been developed for commonly used preference elicitation instruments, such as discrete choice experiments, information on the principles underlying the design and analysis of novel methods is often limited. This manuscript provides the first introduction into the design and analysis of multidimensional thresholding (MDT). (Source: Value in Health)

Towards the Implementation of a Value Framework for Diagnostic Technologies: Operationalization, Piloting and Validation in Latin America.
In 2020, a group of 30 stakeholders from Latin America established fifteen criteria for a value framework (D-VF) to assess and make decisions on diagnostic technologies. This paper aims to present the operationalization, piloting, and initial validation of the framework for its implementation. (Source: Value in Health)

Meaningful Change Thresholds and Fatigue Severity Points on Patient-Reported Outcomes by the Fatigue Symptoms and Impacts Questionnaire in Patients With Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis
The Fatigue Symptoms and Impacts Questionnaire-Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (FSIQ-RMS) is a new content-valid, concise, and reliable 20-item patient-reported outcome measure to evaluate the symptoms and impacts of fatigue in patients with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis. Analyses were performed to derive meaningful change thresholds (MCTs) on patient-reported outcomes as measured by FSIQ-RMS and generate receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves to determine fatigue severity cut points at baseline and change in severity at post-baseline and supplement the anchor-based MCT results.
