Investigating minimal clinically important difference for Constant score in patients undergoing rotator cuff surgery

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
An MCID estimate of 10.4 points is demonstrated as the threshold for the Constant score in patients with rotator cuff tear, demonstrating an improvement in patient satisfaction after operation and validation of outcomes instruments/classification systems.

Research Pearls: The Significance of Statistics and Perils of Pooling. Part 1: Clinical Versus Statistical Significance.

TL;DR: This review highlights the most common PROs in clinical research and discusses the salient pearls and pitfalls, and stresses the difference between statistical and clinical relevance and the concepts of minimal clinically important difference and patient acceptable symptom state.

Determining the minimal clinically important difference for the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, Simple Shoulder Test, and visual analog scale (VAS) measuring pain after shoulder arthroplasty

TL;DR: Minimal clinically important differences (MCIDs) for the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, the Simple Shoulder Test (SST), and a visual analog scale (VAS) measuring pain have not been previously described using an anchor-based method after shoulder arthroplasty.

Quantifying success after total shoulder arthroplasty: the minimal clinically important difference.

TL;DR: The minimum improvement necessary for patients to achieve a result they believe is clinically meaningful after aTSA and rTSA is nominal and was achieved by at least 80% of the patients.

Establishing clinically significant outcome after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair

TL;DR: This study establishes MCID, SCB, and PASS for ASES, Constant, and SANE scores in patients undergoing RCR and establishes lower preoperative scores were associated with achieving MCID and SCB and higher preoperative Constant scores associated with PASS.

Radiological Assessment of Osteo-Arthrosis

TL;DR: It was concluded that, to ensure maximum uniformity in grading x rays in field surveys and therapeutic trials, all readings should be made by the same observer, preferably at a single session.

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.

Do Data Characteristics Change According to the Number of Scale Points Used? An Experiment Using 5-Point, 7-Point and 10-Point Scales:

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined how using Likert-type scales with either 5-point, 7-point or 10-point format affects the resultant data in terms of mean scores, and measures of dispersion and shape.
