• The COSMIN study reached international consensus on taxonomy, terminology, and definitions of measurement properties for health-related patient-reported outcomes. (2010, methodology): “It should be noted that reaching consensus in a Delphi process neither means that the correct answer has been found [3] nor that a correct answer exists.”
