a

The consensus criteria for inclusion as a core domain was defined as ≥70% of all panel members rating a domain ≥7 and no more than 15% rating the domain ≤3 on a 9-point scale. Domains are ordered by the proportion of panel members rating the domain ≥7.

b

A total of 4 of 75 (5%) unique panel members ever selected “Unable to Score.” Number of panel members selecting “Unable to Score” by domain: Survival (1), Impact on family and/or caregiver (1), Hearing (1), and Management of complex medication regimens (1)
