Table 1.

The Minimal Clinical Important Difference for Each Patient-Reported Outcome Measure Utilized.

Patient-Reported Outcome Measure Literature Values
PROMIS Mental Health 2.9 [31]
PROMIS Physical Health 1.9 [31]
PROMIS Pain NRS 1 [33,34]
PROMIS Pain Intensity 3a 3.7a
PROMIS Pain Interference 2.35 [35]
PROMIS Anxiety 2.3 [35]
HOOS JR 6.4 [36]
KOOS JR 7 [36,37]

PROM, patient-reported outcome measure; PROMIS, Patient-Reported Outcome Measure Information System; NRS, numeric rating scale; HOOS JR, Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Joint Replacement; KOOS JR, Knee Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Joint Replacement.

Literature values for these PROMs have not been reported and thus ½ standard deviation method for calculating the minimally clinical important difference was utilized [31].
