The COSMIN community updated the COSMIN-RoB checklist on reliability and measurement error in 2021. The updated checklist can be applied to the assessment of all types of outcome measurement studies, including clinician-reported outcome measures (ClinPOMs), performance-basd outcome measurement instruments (PerFOMs), and laboratory values. In order to help readers better understand and apply the updated COSMIN-RoB checklist and provide methodological references for conducting systematic reviews of ClinPOMs, PerFOMs and laboratory values, this paper aimed to interpret the updated COSMIN-RoB checklist on reliability and measurement error studies.
