Abstract
Minimal important difference (MID) has been defined as the “smallest difference in score in the domain of interest which patients perceive as beneficial”1(p408) and underscores the importance of interpreting numerical findings within the context of the degree of their clinical impact.2 Specifically assessing what degree of numerical change on a symptom or a quality-of-life measure is meaningful to individuals with a relevant condition can allow investigators and others to look beyond whether a difference is statistically significant to determine its importance to patients.Keywords
