EULAR Outcome measures library
This is a comprehensive database of validated instruments (indices, questionnaires, scales, or others), with an emphasis on PROs used in rheumatology.
The database includes a detailed description of many instruments. It also includes:
- Information about validation
- Recommendations and rules for use and guidelines for interpretation of the results.
- References and validated translated versions in the EU languages, with download if possible or link to an access page.
