• Conducting quantitative synthesis when comparing medical interventions: AHRQ and the Effective Health Care Program. (2011, background): “For some continuous outcomes, a meaningful clinically important change is often defined and patients achieving such change are considered as ‘‘responders’’ [30].”
• Minimal clinically important differences (MCID) and patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) for visual analog scales (VAS) measuring pain in patients treated for rotator cuff disease. (2009, methodology): “MCID and PASS estimates have been determined for visual analog pain scales for a variety of diseases including hip and knee osteoarthritis, patellafemoral pain, generalized rheumatoid arthritis, and mechanical neck pain.(1,2,13,16) For these chronic diseases, MCID estimates varied between 0.”
• Psychometric properties of the Communication Confidence Rating Scale for Aphasia (CCRSA): Phase 2 (2011, background): “The added value for assessing patient reported outcomes in a variety of chronic conditions is now well documented for evaluation of treatment effectiveness (Bottomley, Jones, & Claassens, 2009; Tubach et al., 2005; Wiklund & Junghard, 2003; Wilke, Burke, & Erickson, 2004).”
