AB  - BACKGROUND: To establish the lowest score reflecting meaningful changes from the 
      perspective of patients is very important for explaining the results of patient 
      reports. The measurement scale of quality of life in patients with chronic 
      gastritis has been used in clinical practice, but the minimal clinically 
      important difference (MCID) has not been worked out. In this paper, we use a 
      distribution-based method to calculate the MCID of the scale QLICD-CG (Quality of 
      Life Instruments for Chronic Diseases- Chronic Gastritis) (V2.0). METHODS: The 
      QLICD-CG(V2.0) scale was used to evaluate the quality of life in patients with 
      chronic gastritis. Since the methods for developing MCID were diverse and there 
      was no uniform standard, we took MCID developed by anchor-based method as the 
      gold standard, and compared the MCID of QLICD-CG(V2.0) scale developed by various 
      distribution-based methods for selection. Standard deviation method (SD), effect 
      size method (ES), standardized response mean method (SRM), standard error of 
      measurement method (SEM) and reliable change index method (RCI) are given in the 
      distribution-based methods. RESULTS: A total of 163 patients, with an average age 
      of (52.37 +/- 12.96) years old, were calculated according to the various methods 
      and formulas given by the distribution-based method, and the results were 
      compared with the gold standard. It was suggested that the results of the SEM 
      method at the moderate effect (1.96) should be taken as the preferred MCID of the 
      distribution-based method. And thus the MCID of the physical domain, 
      psychological domain, social domain, general module, specific module and total 
      score of the QLICD-CG(V2.0) scale were 9.29, 13.59, 9.27, 8.29, 13.49 and 7.86, 
      respectively. CONCLUSIONS: With anchor-based method as the gold standard, each 
      method in distribution-based method has its own advantages and disadvantages. In 
      this paper, 1.96SEM was found to have a good effect on the minimum clinically 
      significant difference of the QLICD-CG(V2.0) scale, and it is recommended as the 
      preferred method to establish MCID.
