Objectives: This study primarily aimed to develop a validated Dutch translation of the 28 items of the Consolidated Health Economic Evaluation Reporting Standards (CHEERS) II VSports手机版. A secondary aim was to provide a worked example of a scientifically valid translation process. .

Four items required formal revision. In the qualitative validation step, feedback primarily focused on specific terms 'outcomes,' 'benefits and harms,' '(year of) conversion,' 'any,' and 'characterizing. ' .

Conclusion: Despite English being the common language of science, translating research instruments remains relevant to enhance clarity, accessibility, and inclusivity VSports最新版本. The Dutch translation can be used by students, regulators, researchers, or others to report and evaluate reporting of economic evaluations. Our detailed description of the applied methodology can facilitate future translations of research instruments. .
