AB  - The clinical relevance of research is much more important than statistical 
      significance. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) are the strongest 
      determinants of satisfaction as the result of an intervention or treatment. 
      Outcomes can be measured in terms of the minimal clinically important difference 
      (MCID) detectable by a patient, bearing in mind that "detectable" includes 
      worsening as well as improvement. Patient-acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) and 
      substantial clinical benefit (SCB) ultimately correlate with whether patients are 
      happy or willing to undergo an intervention again. These measures should not be 
      reported in terms of group means, where outliers could distort the score. These 
      measures should be reported in terms of the proportion of individual patients 
      whose scores cross the meaningful thresholds of satisfaction.
