Minimal important change is about importance, not certainty: Minimal detectable change addresses certainty, not importance
We thank Hays et al. for their careful reading of our paper (So et al., 2025) and for raising important concerns regarding the interpretation of change scores and measurement error (Hays & Reise, 2...
Estimating the minimal important change of single-item measures using the adjusted predictive modeling method or the longitudinal confirmatory factor analysis method
The MIC of an SIM can be accurately estimated using an auxiliary PROM
Anchor questions to improve patient-reported outcome measure interpretability in patients undergoing knee or hip arthroplasty - a mixed-methods content validity, construct validity, and reliability st…
The MIC and PASS anchor questions demonstrated a high degree of content validity, while it was questionable for TF. Construct validity was considered good to poor for PASS, but patients may consider their present state more than their preoperative state when responding to the MIC. Reliability was considered acceptable in both MIC and PASS
Effect of present state bias on minimal important change estimates: A simulation study
We recommend the unconstrained LIRT- and LCFA-based MIC methods to estimate anchor-based MICs, irrespective of the degree of PSB. The APM-method is a feasible alternative if PSB is limited
Estimating meaningful thresholds for multi-item questionnaires using item response theory
The new IRT method perfectly recovers meaningful (interpretational) thresholds for multi-item questionnaires, provided that the data satisfy the assumptions for IRT analysis
Estimating anchor-based minimal important change using longitudinal confirmatory factor analysis
Th Annual Conference of the International Society for Quality of Life Research
Aims: The minimal important change (MIC) is loosely defined as the smallest change in a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) score that patients value as important. Anchor-based methods using an external criterion reflecting the patients' perspective are preferred to estimate MICs. A popular anchor is the 1-item transition rating (TR). A TR requires patients to compare their perceived change with internal thresholds for e.g. ''a little better'…
Establishing thresholds for meaningful within-individual change using longitudinal item response theory
Results from traditional analyses of anchor-based MWIC are impacted by study conditions. LIRT constitutes a promising and more robust analytic approach to identifying thresholds for MWIC
Assessing baseline dependency of anchor-based minimal important change (MIC): Don’t stratify on the baseline score
MIC baseline dependency should not be tested in subgroups based on stratification on the baseline PROM score. Instead, one or more of the suggested alternative methods should be used
Assessing the equivalence of Web-based and paper-and-pencil questionnaires using differential item and test functioning (DIF and DTF) analysis: A case of the Four-Dimensional Symptom Questionnaire (4D…
IRT-based DIF and DTF analysis is demonstrated as a way to assess the equivalence of Web-based and P&P questionnaire modalities. Data obtained with the Web-based 4DSQ are equivalent to data obtained with the P&P version
Cross-cultural validation of the German version of the Four-Dimensional Symptom Questionnaire (4DSQ) in multimorbid elderly people
Effect of an intervention to enhance guideline adherence of occupational physicians on return-to-work self-efficacy in workers sick-listed with common mental disorders
ISRCTN86605310
Effectiveness of guideline-based care by occupational physicians on the return-to-work of workers with common mental disorders: Design of a cluster-randomised controlled trial
ISRCTN86605310
Cost-effectiveness of a workplace intervention for sick-listed employees with common mental disorders: Design of a randomized controlled trial
ISRCTN92307123
Effectiveness of a Minimal Intervention for Stress-related mental disorders with Sick leave (Miss); study protocol of a cluster randomised controlled trial in general practice [ISRCTN43779641]
In our study design, attention is given to the practical application of the requirements for a pragmatic trial. The results of this cluster RCT will add to the evidence about treatment options in general practice for SMDs in patients on sick leave, and might contribute to a new and appropriate guideline. These results will be available at the end of 2006
