Minimal important change and difference for knee osteoarthritis outcome measurement tools after non-surgical interventions: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To systematically review and provide estimates of the minimal important change (MIC) and difference (MID) for outcome tools in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA) after non-surgical interventions. Design A systematic review.

Data sources

MEDLINE, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus and Cochrane databases were searched up to 21 September 2021.

Eligibility criteria

We included studies that calculated MIC and MID using any calculation method including anchor, consensus and distribution methods, for any knee OA outcome tool after non-surgical interventions.

Data extraction and synthesis

We extracted reported MIC, MID and minimum detectable change (MDC) estimates. We used quality assessment tools appropriate to the studies' methods to screen out low-qu
