AB  - Clinicians, researchers, and outcome stakeholders have the crucial, albeit 
      difficult, task of quantifying when a person or group experiences important 
      change or difference on any given outcome measure, often in response to a 
      specific intervention. The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) 
      provides this quantified value of change/difference for a measure. There are many 
      methods for MCID derivation, which can result in multiple values for the same 
      measure. Thus, it is important for potential users of MCID values to be aware of 
      the nuances of MCID development and cautions for interpreting values. This review 
      outlines MCID-related definitions, methods, and guidelines.
