Abstract
Abstract Purpose This study aimed to define minimal clinically-important difference (MCID) and minimum detectable change (MDC) using baseline patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) as opposed to change scores, eliminating influence of surgical outcome on the definition of improvement. Methods All patients with available baseline PROMs recorded in the UK Non-Arthroplasty Hip Registry (NAHR) up to November 2025 were identified. Revision procedures were excluded. Reliability for PROM scores were based on published figures (iHOT-12=0.89, EQ-5D-VAS=0.73, EQ-5D-Index=0.87). Standard deviation (SD) and standard error of the mean (SEM) were calculated for the total cohort and sub-groups of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) patients. 0.5xSD and 1xSEM measurements were compared, and an upper-bound approach used to define MCID. MDC was defined as 1.96xSEM (95% confidence). Results For the total cohort, iHOT-12 (n=15,429) SD was 19.30 and SEM was 6.40, resulting in a MCID of 9.7 and MDC of 12.5. For EQ-5D-VAS (n=16,123) SD was 20.95 and SEM was 10.89, resulting in a MCID of 10.9 and a MDC of 21.3. For EQ-5D-Index (n=16,107), SD was 0.2492 and SEM was 0.0898, resulting in a MCID of 0.12 and a MDC of 0.18. For the FAI cohort, iHOT-12 (n=6,789) SD was 18.34 and SEM was 6.08, resulting in MCID of 9.2 and MDC of 11.9. EQ-5D-VAS (n=7,018) SD was 20.82 and SEM was 10.8, resulting in MCID of 10.8 and MDC of 21.2. For EQ-5D-Index (n=7,000) SD was 0.2364 and SEM was 0.0852, resulting in MCID of 0.12 and MDC of 0.17 For the DDH cohort, iHOT-12 (n=1,431) SD was 17.66 and SEM was 5.86, resulting in MCID of 8.8 and MDC of 11.5. EQ-5D-VAS (n=1,456) SD was 20.92 and SEM was 10.87, resulting in MCID of 10.9 and MDC of 21.3. EQ-5D-Index (n=1,454) SD was 0.2489 and SEM was 0.0897, resulting in MCID of 0.12 and MDC of 0.18. Conclusion Our findings support the definition of MCID for the general young adult hip population as ≥10 for iHOT-12, ≥11 for EQ-5D-VAS and ≥0.12 for EQ-5D-Index and a MCID of ≥9 for iHOT-12 in FAI and DDH patients.
