Development of AMSTAR: a measurement tool to assess the methodological quality of systematic reviews
TLDR
A measurement tool for the 'assessment of multiple systematic reviews' (AMSTAR) was developed that consists of 11 items and has good face and content validity for measuring the methodological quality of systematic reviews.
The COSMIN study reached international consensus on taxonomy, terminology, and definitions of measurement properties for health-related patient-reported outcomes.
The COSMIN checklist for assessing the methodological quality of studies on measurement properties of health status measurement instruments: an international Delphi study
TLDR
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.
When to use agreement versus reliability measures.
Rating the methodological quality in systematic reviews of studies on measurement properties: a scoring system for the COSMIN checklist
TLDR

Interpreting Change Scores for Pain and Functional Status in Low Back Pain: Towards International Consensus Regarding Minimal Important Change
TLDR
Proposed MIC values are not the final answer but offer a common starting point for future research and facilitate the use of these measures in clinical practice and the comparability of future studies.
AMSTAR is a reliable and valid measurement tool to assess the methodological quality of systematic reviews.
