Establishing Minimal Clinically Important Difference for PROMIS Physical Function Improvement After Revascularization for Peripheral Artery Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) undergo revascularization to improve physical function, yet meaningful improvement has not been defined. This study aims to define a threshold for improvement in patient-reported physical function (PROMIS-PF) and establish factors predictive of improvement following lower extremity revascularization.

Methods

This study is a single-center retrospective cohort analysis of adults undergoing elective revascularization for PAD 2016-2023 who had PROMIS-PF scores. Anchor- and distribution-based approaches were used to triangulate a single minimal clinically important difference (MCID) value representing an improvement in PROMIS-PF after revascularization. The anchor question was a general health question. A least absolute sh
