The MCID is a patient-centered concept, capturing both the magnitude of the improvement and also the value patients place on t...
متن کاملMinimal clinically important differences in health-related quality of life after total hip or knee replacement
OBJECTIVES We aimed first to summarise minimal clinically important differences (MCIDs) after total hip (THR) or knee replacement (TKR) in health-related quality of life (HRQoL), measured using the Short-Form 36 (SF-36). Secondly, we aimed to improve the precision of MCID estimates by means of meta-analysis. METHODS We conducted a systematic review of English and non-English articles using ME...
متن کاملMinimal (clinically) important differences for the Fatigue Assessment Scale in sarcoidosis.
OBJECTIVE The usefulness of any questionnaire in clinical management and research trials depends on its ability to indicate a likelihood of treatment success during follow-up. The Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) reflects a clinically relevant change score. The aim of this study was to estimate the MCID for the Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS) in patients with sarcoidosis. METHODS...
متن کاملApproaches for estimating minimal clinically important differences in systemic lupus erythematosus
A minimal clinically important difference (MCID) is an important concept used to determine whether a medical intervention improves perceived outcomes in patients. Prior to the introduction of the concept in 1989, studies focused primarily on statistical significance. As most recent clinical trials in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have failed to show significant effects, determining a clini...
