Finding Meaning in Patient-reported Outcome Change Scores: The Minimal Clinically Important Difference Fallacy
The Minimal Clinically important Difference family of measures have become the standard for interpreting changes following treatment and to interpret the clinical importance of clinical trial data. This talk will dissect the MCID and reveal substantial conceptual and psychometric problems with these measures. Importantly, two more conceptually and psychometrically sound alternatives will be presented.
“Mostly Independent” Subgroups of Patients with Poor Pain and Function Outcome Following Knee Athroplasty
More than 20% of patients with knee replacement have persistent pain (or minimal benefit) despite an apparently successful procedure. This presentation will present new study results that both identify what this 20+% of patients might look like, how to identify them ahead of time and how this poor outcome subgroup compares to a successful surgical outcome. Methods will be presented that could apply to any population of patients with painful disorders.
