AB  - The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for patient-reported outcome 
      questionnaires is important in the interpretation of outcome in clinical and 
      research settings. MCID represents the smallest difference in score that the 
      patient would identify as important. There is, to our knowledge, no reported MCID 
      value for Southampton Dupuytren's scoring scheme (SDSS). The SDSS is a 5-item 20 
      points scale, where 0 is considered no discomfort or physical limitations and 20 
      is the worst possible discomfort and physical limitations. The aim of this study 
      was to determine the MCID for the SDSS. The study population consisted of 192 
      patients, in a prospective period from 2018 to 2021. All patients completed 
      baseline SDSS questionnaires and again at 6 months follow-up with an external 
      anchor question added. We calculated the mean change in scores of SDSS and used 
      the anchor-based approach as well as a distribution-based method to calculate the 
      MCID. At 6 months 163/192 (85%) of the patients were satisfied with the treatment 
      according to the anchor question. In conclusion, the MCID of the SDSS for 
      patients receiving treatment for DD is 1.5 points when estimated by an 
      anchor-based approach and 1.62 points when estimated by a distribution-based 
      approach. These MCID values should be considered in the interpretation of SDSS 
      scores in the future, as well as when planning future studies on DD.
