Minimal Clinically Important Differences of Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Physical Function in Patients With Tibial Shaft Fracture.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To calculate the minimal clinically important differences (MCIDs) of patient-reported outcomes measurement information system physical function (PROMIS PF) scores for patients with operatively treated tibial shaft fractures.

Design

Retrospective Cohort Study.

Setting

A Level 1 trauma center.

Patients

All operatively treated tibial shaft fractures identified by Current Procedural Terminology codes.

Intervention

Enrolled patients treated acutely with operative fixation of their tibia.

Main outcome measurements

MCIDs were calculated by distribution-based and anchor-based methods, calculated from PROMIS PF scores completed at least at two-time points postoperatively. MCIDs were calculated at different time points including overall, 7-12 week
