摘要：

Scales are routinely used in many clinical trials to measure various underlying phenomena of interest. Common examples are quality-of-life scales and scales used in clinical-trials of psychoactive drugs. Along with the growing number of scales appearing in medical journals, a rather confusing array of terminology and techniques for the construction and evaluation of scales has evolved. This paper describes some of the basic principles, methods and terminology used in the evaluation of clinimetric scales. Specifically, the three goals of sensibility, consistency (reliability) and validity of a scale are discussed.
