AB  - OBJECTIVE: To estimate the Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) of the 
      French version of the Hand Function Sort questionnaire (HFS-F). As a comparison, 
      the MCID of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) was also 
      estimated. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We included French-speaking patients 
      hospitalized in a multidisciplinary rehabilitation program for chronic pain of 
      the upper limb after an accident. HFS-F and DASH scores were collected at 
      admission and discharge; the Patient Global Impression of Change measure (PGIC; 7 
      levels) was collected at discharge. The MCID was estimated by 2 methods: the 
      anchor-based method (receiver operating characteristic [ROC], delta (Delta) mean of 
      scores) and the objective method based on the distribution of scores (standard 
      error of measurement, SEM). RESULT: We included 225 patients. By the anchor-based 
      method, the MCID for the HFS-F and DASH was +26 (SD 35) (P<10(-4)) and -13 (SD 
      13) (P<10(-4)), respectively, and by the ROC curve, it was +10 to +12 for the 
      Delta-HFS-F and -7.5 to -5 for the Delta-DASH. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 
      0.726 [0.638-0.781] for Delta-HFS-F and 0.768 [0.701-0.83] for Delta-DASH. The 
      correlations between the anchor and delta scores were>0.38 (P<10(-4)). The SEM 
      was 16.2 for the HFS-F and -4.3 for the DASH. CONCLUSIONS: Values below the SEM 
      must be rejected. Our anchor was significantly correlated with the outcome. 
      Therefore, we propose an MCID for the HFS-F of 26, corresponding to approximately 
      10% progression of the score.
