A lot of reforms in psych science in the last decade have focused on improving statistical practices (and that's great). But, as the many of us who have re-analyzed a lot of data can tell you: statistics really cannot help you much when your measures are problematic or invalid.

🔬 New study by @conrad_harrison et al. provides IRT models for the Oxford hip and knee scores, converting patient responses into continuous scores w/ quantifiable precision. Web apps were developed for efficient score conversion. Here's a breakdown of the findings! (1/n)

"One of the attached excel files had over 700,000 cells of data" @EikoFried and @robinnkok used their right of access under the GDPR to ask Elsevier/RELX what personal data the academic-publisher-turned-data-company holds on them. It was a lot. From May: https://t.co/mF6qMYfsrS

Have you secured your place at BAPRAS Congress 2022? Among the many sessions we have planned for you, during each of the three days of the event, we will be hosting Hunterian Lectures. Find out more about the programme and register soon: https://t.co/KKVOQl1NFe

Modifying existing #PROMs is an attractive alternative to developing new tools. @RakhshanKamran et al. used CAT testing to minimise the #PROMs burden in patients with thumb base arthritis. Exciting application of @BSSHand #handsurgery registry data https://t.co/3WwoqnwzNn

Adaptive designs work, and can make trials faster. Great paper by Nick Parsons & an awesome team of clever people for this, will give the community a lot of confidence that these can be done, and are effective. https://t.co/atWjiZk2oG

@DeenaHarji @BlazebyJ @MarionKCampbell @NatalieBlencowe @GilliesKatie @JCRWormald @marta_penna @mrSinanK @DrKatOxford Another BOSTiC, (now BOASTiC) complete. Wonderful delegate cohort once again. Very special faculty, mentors and guest speakers, A1 organisers. A huge thanks to everyone. Surgical trials continue to progress. Bristol (or Aberdeen?) next year. @murat_akkulak @RCSnews @SITU_Oxford

Looking for psychometricans to join our team in Cambridge. You will work on a range of psychometrics problems on the border of industry and academia: deploying CAT tests, gamified testing, using big data as a psychometric test, etc. Happy to chat informally to anyone interested.

‼️Calling all hand surgeons, trainees, therapists, rheumatologists and GPs, please share your opinions on distraction for thumb base OA in the @surgery_trials DISTRACT Survey:

EMCAT has the potential to transform the way we capture PROMs in hand surgery and beyond! Here's our first proof of concept paper using @BSSHand registry data. @NIHRresearch portfolio study underway to test feasibility of the app:

https://t.co/hIZBGpn1Ee Well done @conrad_harrison, @AndrewDClelland and team! More great #psychometrics work through #collaboration in #handsurgery @The_Pulvertaft @scammell66 @SueFullilove @BSSHand @BAPRASvoice @JHSEur
