Validation of “creactability” scale in football: a Rasch modeling approach by Jhinyi Shin, Jongwon Kim, Miyoung Lee, Won Jae Lee

“…The specific aims were (1) each scale measures a unidimensional construct, (2) the scale items investigate the Differential Item Functioning (DIF) base on team group (i.e., the rankings of higher and lower teams), (3) the range of “creactability” item difficulty and personal ability (respondents “creactability” levels) are wide enough to assess the “creactability” changes, and (4) “creactability” differs across subscales (7 points).MethodsFor Rasch analysis, data from a total of 241 football players were used from the K-League (Korean Professional Football League), excluding goalkeepers due to their different abilities and roles from other field players. …”

Incidence, diagnostic criteria and outcome following ventriculoperitoneal shunting of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus in a memory clinic population: a prospective observat... by George Razay, Melissa Wimmer, Iain Robertson

“…This triage index test had high sensitivity (95.2%) and specificity (91.7%). 62 of 408 (15%) participants with cognitive impairment had INPH, an incidence of 11.9/100 000/year and 120/100 000/year over 75 years. 96% of participants following shunting, compared with 45% of the non-shunted, improved by over 25% of available measurable improvement in either MMSE or balance/gait scores (51% difference; 95% CI 28% to 74%; p&lt;0.001), and 56% vs 5% improved by over 50% of maximum in both (51% difference; 95% CI 30% to 73%; p&lt;0.001).Conclusion The triage index test score is a simple tool that may be useful for physicians to identify INPH diagnoses and need for referral for shunt surgery, which may improve cognitive, balance and gait functioning.…”
