Cross-validity of the end-of-life care management scale via a cross-sectional study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimTo examine the cross-validity of the end-of-life care management scale (EOLCM scale).
methodThis cross-sectional study used a self-report questionnaire. Participants were care managers who had not participated in a previous study that developed the EOLCM scale. The survey items included participants' demographic information, the EOLCM scale, the number of end-of-life (EOL) cases managed in the last three years, and two concurrent scales, namely the Multidisciplinary Cooperation Behavior Scale for Medical and Nursing Professionals in Home Care and the "MITORI" Care Scale to Evaluate Nursing Care for Patients with End-Stage Cancer and Their Families. "MITORI" means providing care near the dying person. Internal consistency of the EOLCM scale was assessed via Cronbach's alpha. The model's goodness-of-fit was assessed via a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Construct validity was determined using the correlation coefficients between the scores of the EOLCM scale and concurrent scales, and the number of EOL cases managed in the last three years.
resultsValid responses were received from 501 care managers. Cronbach's αs were 0.824 and >0.709 for the entire scale and each factor, respectively. The model fit indices for the CFA were goodness-of-fit index = 0.916, adjusted goodness-of-fit index = 0.892, comparative fit index = 0.947, and root mean square error of approximation = 0.053. Correlation coefficients between the concurrent scales and the EOLCM scale, and between the number of EOL cases and the EOLCM scale ranged from 0.623 to 0.817 (P < 0.001) and from 0.103 to 0.244 (P < 0.001), respectively.
conclusionThe EOLCM scale showed acceptable cross-validity. Further studies are required to examine its cross-cultural and predictive validities. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2024; 24: 48-52.
