Eekhout, I. (author), de Vet, H.C. (author), de Boer, M.R. (author), Twisk, J.W. (author), Heymans, M.W. (author)Previous studies showed that missing data in multi-item scales can best be handled by multiple imputation of item scores. However, when many scales are used, the number of items will become too large for the imputation model to reliably estimate imputations. A solution is to use passive imputation or a parcel summary score that combine and...article 2018
