However, none of these comparisons proved to be
MCID (CI overlapped with SEM).

MCID) in Pain, Disability, and Quality of Life after Revision Fusion for Symptomatic Pseudoarthrosis." The Spine Journal: Official Journal of the North American Spine Society 12 (12): 1122-8.
The improvement in MAL (how well) scores attained minimal clinically important difference (
MCID) between baseline and 2 weeks in only 600 repetitions group and between baseline and 4 weeks after intervention in only mCIMT, 300 repetitions, and 600 repetitions groups (see Table 2 and Figure 3).
The clinically important changes (that met the
MCID of WMFT: 1.54 to 1.6 seconds) [44] and larger effect size obtained across the tests only in experimental group indicated significant improvement of UE functions in participants receiving ASAP.
For the self-reported measures, 5 of 8 participants achieved the
MCID for the COPM and 3 of 8 participants achieved the least measurable difference on the ABILHAND.
The reduction we found in the posttreatment score was superior to the 18-point minimum clinically important difference (
MCID) published by Jacobson et al.
Figures 3 and 4 show the proportion of patients in the two groups whose gain in COPM performance and satisfaction exceeded the
MCID; of note, this proportion was statistically significant for both measures in the comparisons versus baseline.
Logistic regression was used to examine the association between being a smoker at baseline and achieving at least 1
MCID on the SPADI at 4 weeks and 6 months.
L'efficacia del trattamento e stata valutata tramite l'analisi delle misure di esito, considerandone il
MCID (Minimal Clinical Important Difference - minima differenza clinicamente rilevante) (sia rispetto alla base-line che alla differenza media tra i gruppi), la significativita statistica e l'intervallo di confidenza (CI).
To express the amount of clinically important change made by the patients, we calculated the minimal clinically important difference (
MCID) of the self-report outcome measures.
The researchers were unable to identify any useful minimal clinically important differences (
MCID) to help gauge the importance of this study's particular results.
These were designated based on availability of
MCID criteria.
