Two reviewers will independently assess the suitability of the preference - based instruments for measuring
outcomes in palliative care using the ISOQOL, minimum standards for patient - reported
outcome measures (conceptual and
measurement model, reliability, content validity, construct validity, responsiveness, interpretability of scores, translation of measure, patient and investigator burden), 43 and the CREATE checklist (descriptive system, health states values, sampling, preference data collection, study sample, modelling, scoring algorithm).44 The ISOQOL minimum standards were chosen as these standards were developed from a systematic review of published and unpublished guidance on patient - reported outcome measures, including the COnsensus - based Standards for the selection of health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN).46 To the authors» knowledge, the CREATE checklist is the only published guidance on what key components should be reported in a valuation study.44 Information on how the contents of the instruments were developed, psychometric properties and valuation will be used to assess the suitability of the instruments for the palliative setting; instruments will be scored on whether the domains or dimensions were developed using input from informal caregivers of people receiving palliative care (yes / no) and whether each of the reporting checklist items has been evaluated for this population (if yes, then a score of one will be allocated) and a total score
