• On the Consistency of Ordinal Regression Methods (2014, neutral): “Examples of ordinal scales include (“do-not-bother” ≺ “only-if-you-must” ≺ “good” ≺ “very-good” ≺ “run-to-see”) in movie ratings [7], (“absent” ≺ “mild” ≺ “severe”) for the symptoms of a physical disease [1] and the NRS-11 numeric rating scale for clinical pain measurement [9].”
• Validity of four pain intensity rating scales (2011, background): “Fourth, the VAS tends to have higher failure rates than the NRS or VRS, probably because both the NRS and the VRS are very easy to understand and complete by patients [3,6,10,11,13,20,24].”
