COSMIN: Assessing the Methodological Quality of Measurement Instrument Studies

COSMIN (COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments) is a systematic framework and 10-item checklist developed by Mokkink et al. (2010) to evaluate the methodological quality of studies that assess the measurement properties of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), questionnaires, and clinical scales. COSMIN guides the development, validation, and selection of health measurement instruments across clinical research and practice.
