q3 · i? · review · r3

Certainty assessment applying COSMIN-modified GRADE across the 6 included instruments, with downgrading for risk of bias, inconsistency, imprecision, and indirectness. The review reports "all 6 instruments were rated as having moderate-quality evidence."

"Using the COSMIN-modified GRADE approach, all 6 instruments were rated as having moderate-quality evidence (Table 8). Downgrading was primarily due to reliance on single-study evidence, limited cross-context validation, and the absence of temporal stability and formal measurement error assessment."
