AB  - To judge whether one treatment is more effective than another, we need to know 
      how big the difference is. One way of judging the size of the difference reported 
      in a trial is to ask whether it is "clinically meaningful" (or clinically 
      worthwhile): "The smallest change that is important to patients." A treatment is 
      often said to be "effective" and recommended for practice when the between-group 
      difference in a study is larger than the clinically meaningful effect. But this 
      simple idea hides some complexity. This Evidence in Practice article aims to 
      explain the definitions, interpretations, and implications of minimally important 
      change (MIC), minimal clinically important change (MCIC), and minimal clinically 
      important difference (MCID). J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2019;49(9):677-678.
