Initial Validation of a Scale to Measure Methodological Quality in Prognosis Studies. The MInCir Proposal
SUMMARY: Research in methodological quality (MQ) of prognosis studies (PS) is relevant in view of the important number of studies developed in this scenario. However, currently there are no instruments designed to measure MQ in PS, thus the aim of this study was to validate a scale to determine the...
