Overview

Randomized trial establishes novel MCIDs for pediatric knee questionnaires, indicating better measurement for young patients.

Key Points

  • To determine minimal clinically important differences (MCID) for pediatric knee outcome measures following various knee surgeries.
  • Retrospective review of patients under 18 years who underwent knee surgery from 2016 to 2023.
  • Collected preoperative and postoperative scores for HSS Pedi-FABS, Pedi-IKDC, and PROMIS outcomes.
  • Calculated MCID using the distribution-based method.
  • Established MCID values for HSS Pedi-FABS, Pedi-IKDC, and multiple PROMIS metrics.
  • Negative MCID values indicated improvement in pain for the PROMIS pain interference.
  • Included data from 505 patients undergoing ACLR and 253 patients undergoing MPFLR.
