AB  - OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the responsiveness to change and the minimal clinical 
      important difference (MCID) of the Dutch Endometriosis Health Profile-30 (EHP-30) 
      questionnaire. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective cohort study among endometriosis 
      patients attending the Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre and members of 
      the Dutch endometriosis patient-support group. EHP-30 was measured at baseline 
      and after 6 months. Changes in treatment were recorded, as well as the subjective 
      change in symptoms. Effect sizes and index of responsiveness were evaluated as 
      appropriate. The MCID was estimated with use of the change in scores in women 
      reporting to feel 'somewhat better' after 6 months. RESULTS: 228 women were 
      included. Effect sizes varied from 0.1 to 0.5 in the complete group and from 0.3 
      to 1.1 in the group of women who reported improvement. Index of responsiveness 
      ranged from 0.1 to 0.7 on the eleven dimensions of the questionnaire. MCID was 
      3.2-17.5 depending on the dimension. CONCLUSIONS: The Dutch EHP-30 is sensitive 
      to change and represents a useful tool in future research on the effect of 
      endometriosis treatment on health status.
