Abstract
This chapter contains section titled:
Clinical validity
Is the test a measure of the clinically relevant outcome or a proxy for or good predictor of the clinically relevant outcomes?
Is the test free of important bias (systematic variability)?
Responsiveness
The test should be on the pathway between the intervention and the outcome
Reversibility
Rapid response to changes in treatment
Large signal-to-noise ratio
Estimation of signal and noise
Estimation of noise
How to reduce noise
How the size of the signal and noise affects the choice of monitoring test
Monitoring interventions in the presence of a changing baseline
Practicality
Conclusions
Acknowledgements
Appendix
References
