Benchmarks after bowel resection in Crohn's disease: implementing clinically meaningful health-related quality of life targets.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patient-reported outcome measure scores must be interpretable to be effective in a clinical setting. In this retrospective cohort study, we sought to establish the minimum clinically important difference (MCID) and patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) for health-related quality of life in Crohn's disease and to apply these thresholds to patients undergoing Crohn's-related bowel resection.
