    Variation of Minimum Clinically Important Difference by Age, Gender, Baseline Disability, and Change of Direction in Adult Spinal Deformity Population: Is It a Constant Value?

    BACKGROUND: The minimum clinically important difference (MCID), an important concept to evaluate the effectiveness of treatments, might not be a single "magical" constant for any given health-related quality of life (HRQoL) scale. Thus, we analyzed the effects of various factors on MCIDs for several HRQoL measures in an adult spinal deformity population. METHODS: Surgical and nonsurgical patients from a multicenter adult spinal deformity database who had completed pretreatment and 1-year follow-up questionnaires (Core Outcome Measures Index [COMI], Oswestry Disability Index [ODI], Medical Outcomes Study 36-item short-form questionnaire, 22-item Scoliosis Research Society Outcomes questionnaire, and an anchor question of "back health"erelated change during the previous year) were evaluated. The MCIDs for each HRQoL measure were calculated using an anchor-based method and latent class analysis for the overall population and subpopulations stratified by age, gender, and baseline scores (ODI and COMI) separately for patients with positive versus negative perceptions of change. RESULTS: Patients with a baseline ODI score of <20, 20- 40, and >40 had an MCID of 2.24, 11.35, and 26.57, respectively. Similarly, patients with a baseline COMI score of <2.75, 2.8-5.4, and >5.4 had an MCID of 0.59, 1.38, and 3.67 respectively. The overall MCID thresholds for deterioration and improvement were 0.27 and 2.62 for COMI, 2.23 and 14.31 for ODI, and 0.01 and 0.71 for 22-item Scoliosis Research Society Outcomes questionnaire, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The results from the present study have demonstrated that MCIDs change in accordance with the baseline scores and direction of change but not by age or gender. The MCID, in its current state, should be considered a concept rather than a constant.

    The reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the oxford shoulder instability score
    (2020) Sonmezer, Emel; Yosmaoglu, Hayri Baran; Dogan, Celal Deha; 0000-0001-7356-8500; 30326748
    Background: The aim of this study was to adapt the Oxford Shoulder Instability Score to Turkish culture and test its reliability and validity. Methods: This study included 118 patients with shoulder instability. Confirmatory factor analyses, and correlation coefficient between Oxford Shoulder Instability Score and Short Form 36 were calculated in order to test construct validity. Internal consistency was tested using Cronbach's alpha. Pearson correlation were calculated to test reliability. Differential item functioning analysis was performed to detect whether items exhibited differences according to gender. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis indicating the single structure of the Oxford Shoulder Instability Score was confirmed. Cronbach's alpha was calculated as 0.87 for the whole scale. There were positive and strong correlations between the first and follow-up assessments (r = 0.86, p < 0.01). The Turkish version of OSIS showed moderate and significant correlations with domains of the SF-36 in general. Results also showed that there was no item exhibiting differential item functioning analysis in the Turkish version of Oxford Shoulder Instability Score. Conclusion: The Turkish version of the Oxford Shoulder Instability Score is a reliable, valid, reproducible and practical tool. It can be used for patients with shoulder disorders and is recommended for clinical use.
