Several factors predict the achievement of the patient acceptable symptom state and minimal clinically important difference for patient-reported outcome measures following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To summarize the predictors of the patient acceptable symptom state (PASS), minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and minimal important change (MIC) for patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).

Methods

MEDLINE, PubMed and Embase were searched from inception to 5 January 2024. The authors adhered to PRISMA/R-AMSTAR guidelines, and the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. Data on statistical associations between predictive factors and PROMs were extracted. Inverse odds ratios (ORs) and confidence intervals (reverse group comparison) were calculated when appropriate to ensure comparative consistency.

Results

Thirteen studies comprising 21,235 patients (48.1% female) were i
