Summary: Reliable Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS), minimal clinically important difference (MCID), and substantial clinical benefit (SCB) values were achieved for at least 1 year after arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction (ASCR) surgery. Poor preoperative score, wide acromiohumeral distance, and dominant side all demonstrated higher odds ratios (ORs) for achieving at least one value, but a subscapularis tear demonstrated lower ORs for achieving PASS for pain visual analog scale (pVAS) and SCB for the Constant score.

Summary: The study identified the MCID of 8.1, MIC of 17.7, MDC of 8, and PASS threshold of 29 for the FJS. These values can be used to assess clinical difference, meaningful change, and patient satisfaction following THA.

Summary: The study found that in samples with higher responsiveness, the minimal clinically important improvements (MCII) were also larger. Results showed that with increasing treatment impact, MCIIs also increased, with a wider range of MCIIs in samples with higher responsiveness.

Summary: This study aimed to establish the minimal clinically important difference and patient acceptable symptom state for commonly used outcome measures in patients undergoing the Latarjet procedure. The study also explored the correlations between preoperative patient characteristics and achievement of these outcomes. The findings provide valuable parameters for evaluating the clinical effectiveness of the Latarjet procedure and designing future clinical trials.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the responsiveness and minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of the five-level version of the EuroQol five-dimensional questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and determine the relationship between MCID values and minimal detectable change (MDC). The results showed that EQ-5D-5L has large responsiveness among CHD patients and can determine clinically meaningful score changes at the group level.

Summary: This study aimed to establish the responsiveness and minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for the Brief-BESTest in people with COPD after pulmonary rehabilitation. The results showed a significant improvement in the Brief-BESTest after PR, with significant correlations found between the Brief-BESTest and the mMRC and the 6-MWT. The pooled MCID was determined to be 3.3 points, indicating that an improvement of at least 3 points in the Brief-BESTest in people with COPD will enhance the interpretability of PR effects on balance performance and guide tailored interventions.

Summary: Tinnitus assessment and outcome measurement are complex due to the subjective nature of tinnitus. Various instruments are used for outcome measurement, including self-report questionnaires, visual analogue or numeric rating scales, and psychoacoustic measurements. The concept of minimal clinically important difference (MCID) is introduced for evaluating therapeutic interventions. MCID calculations have been performed for most tinnitus outcome instruments, but the values vary across studies. Psychoacoustic assessments have not shown sufficient reliability and validity for outcome measurement. Future research should confirm these estimates in larger samples with different interventions and consider time intervals and baseline values.

Summary: This article provides a theoretical explanation behind terms such as responsiveness, MID, and MIREDIF, and offers instructions on how to calculate these measures and the optimal number of patients for a study. Results vary across domains, patient location on the scale, and health conditions. The optimal number of patients depends on factors like MIREDIF, SEM, statistical power, and instrument responsiveness.

Summary: After measuring patients using various methods, it was determined that the MCID for the WOMAC score in patients with CS after TKA was higher compared to patients without CS. Additionally, patients with CS showed a lower rate of MCID achievement than those without CS when applying the calculated MCID.

Summary: The study found that patients with a history of psychiatric disorders and currently using multiple psychotropic medications are more likely to have increased severity of overactive bladder symptoms. A history of depression and current use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors were associated with increased severity of stress urinary incontinence symptoms.

Summary: The study aimed to establish the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and patient-acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) after arthroscopic meniscal repair and identify factors associated with achieving these outcomes. Results showed that lower preoperative PRO scores and concomitant ligament procedures were more likely to be associated with achieving successful outcomes, while higher preoperative PRO scores, tears to both menisci, and certain tear classifications were associated with decreased likelihood of success.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) across baseline severity spectrum, with results showing MCID estimates varied depending on severity, ranging from no change to significant changes on PHQ-9 and GAD-7. The ED50 method provided greater precision but with increased complexity for tailoring MCID to specific populations based on baseline severities.

Summary: This study investigated the validity, discriminant ability, and responsiveness of PROMIS in adult spinal deformity patients and calculated MCIDs for PROMIS scores. PROMIS showed strong concurrent validity, discriminant ability between disease severity groups, and responsiveness to changes after surgery; it provided MCIDs for interpreting postoperative changes in PROMIS scores.
