      Laryngeal cancer: Cutoff levels and minimum clinically important differences.

AB  - BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to establish minimum clinically 
      important difference (MCID) scores for the Swedish Self-Evaluation of 
      Communication Experiences after Laryngeal Cancer (S-SECEL) in order to facilitate 
      clinical interpretation and identify cutoff values for voice rehabilitation. 
      METHOD: One hundred nineteen patients with laryngeal cancer completed the S-SECEL 
      instrument and an anchor question regarding acceptability of speech in a social 
      context pretreatment and 12-month postoncologic treatment. Receiver operating 
      characteristic (ROC) curves analysis was used for calculation of cutoff values. 
      RESULTS: Voice rehabilitation cutoff values were identified for all domains 
      (Total = 20; General = 4; Environmental = 16, and Attitudinal = 5), presenting 
      acceptable sensitivity and specificity. Initial MCID estimates were obtained for 
      all domains; improvement of -13 points (p < .0001) or a deterioration of +8 
      points (p = .035) for the Total domain. CONCLUSION: MCID and cutoff scores for 
      the S-SECEL have been identified and may be used in clinical practice to help 
      identify patients with laryngeal cancer in need of voice rehabilitation.
