Abstract:
BACKGROUND AND AIMS:There is a growing need for valid, efficient, and easy scoring scales to rate the quality of cohort studies. We aimed to develop and validate a quality assessment score to be used for cohort studies. METHODS:We followed a rigorous process to establish content, face, and construct validity. Most questions were scored at 0 or 1. Inter-rater reliability and test-retest reliability were assessed using the Spearman correlation coefficient (rs) and Cohen's κ statistic. Internal consistency was measured using the Kuder-Richardson formula 20 (KR20). RESULTS:The final tool consists of 9 questions with a maximum score of 10. The inter-rater reliability was high with the Spearman correlation coefficient (rs = .66). Agreement for inclusion was 90%. Test-retest reliability was high. For rater 1, rs = .91, κ = .38 for scores, and κ = 1 for inclusion. For rater 2, r = .94, 80% agreement for scores, and 100% agreement for inclusion. Internal consistency was reasonable based on 2 studies: KR20 = .21 and KR20 = .65. The novel scale rated highest in efficiency, understandably, ease of use, and ease of interpretation when compared with 3 other scales. CONCLUSIONS:This novel scale has favorable performance characteristics, is efficient to conduct, and is easy to interpret and will be very helpful for physicians and researchers conducting systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
