PROMIS Minimal Clinically Important Differences Across Foot and Ankle Surgeries by Nathaniel E. Zona BA, Michael A. Hewitt BA, Carson Keeter MS, Sara E. Buckley DO, Kenneth J. Hunt MD

“…Conclusion: A 6-month postoperative improvement of ≥ 5.5 and ≤ –4.8 in PROMIS PF and PI suggest meaningful clinical differences from baseline. However, MCID values for PROMIS scales vary across foot and ankle surgeries and patient characteristics, suggesting a global MCID for patient populations may not reflect the true threshold of meaningful change for each individual patient. …”
