Determination of the Minimal Clinically Important Difference Scores for the Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised Respiratory Symptom Scale in Two Populations of Patients With Cystic Fibrosis and Chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa Airway Infection

TLDR
In this article, the authors used a global rating-of-change questionnaire (GRCQ) to assess patients' perceptions of change in their respiratory symptoms after TIS treatment, and mapped the mean change from baseline CFQ-R-Respiratory scores onto the GRCQ to estimate the minimal clinically important difference (MCID).

Results of a phase IIa study of VX-809, an investigational CFTR corrector compound, in subjects with cystic fibrosis homozygous for the F508del-CFTR mutation

TL;DR: In this study, VX-809 had a similar adverse event profile to placebo for 28 days in F508del-CFTR homozygous patients, and demonstrated biological activity with positive impact on CFTR function in the sweat gland.

Measurement of health status: Ascertaining the minimal clinically important difference

TL;DR: An approach to elucidating the significance of changes in score in quality of life instruments by comparing them to global ratings of change is developed, and a plausible range within which the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) falls is established.

Changes in the normal maximal expiratory flow-volume curve with growth and aging.

TL;DR: Improved prediction equations for each sex by age group for 5 spirometric and flow-volume variables are derived and "Normal" limits are proposed that take into consideration the between-subject variability and non-Gaussian distribution of the various measurements.

Determining a minimal important change in a disease-specific quality of life questionnaire

TL;DR: The observation that the minimal important difference is consistent across domains and for both improvement and deterioration will facilitate interpretation of results of studies examining quality of life.
