TI  - Minimum Clinically Important Difference (MCID) and Patient Acceptable Symptomatic 
      State (PASS) Applied to the SF-36 in Patients Who Underwent Arthroscopic Rotator 
      Cuff Repair.

AB  - The 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey questionnaire (SF-36) is a reliable tool to 
      assess the health-related quality of life of patients. If a mean difference 
      between pre-operative evaluation and final follow-up is found to be statistically 
      significant, then the change in score is not random. However, a statistically 
      significant mean change may not correspond to a clinical amelioration for the 
      patient or mean that the patient's state of health is to be considered 
      acceptable. For this reason, interest in the concepts of minimal clinically 
      important difference (MCID) and patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) has 
      grown within recent years. The goal of the present work of research was to 
      determine the MCID and PASS values for the SF-36 in patients who received rotator 
      cuff repair (RCR). Forty-six patients (18 women and 28 men, mean age 58.5 +/- 12.9) 
      previously diagnosed with rotator cuff disease were enrolled. All of these 
      patients underwent RCR. They were evaluated pre-operatively and six months after 
      the surgical intervention as a final follow-up. The SF-36 questionnaire was 
      assessed at each evaluation. The MCID cut-offs of the total, physical, and mental 
      dimensions of the SF-36 for patients who underwent RCR were 23.1, 32.5, and 18.1, 
      respectively. A 23.1 improvement in the SF-36 score at six months following RCR 
      can be correlated with patients having reached a clinically significant 
      improvement in health status. If 81.9 or more is attained in the SF-36 score 
      after surgical repair, the symptom state can be judged as satisfactory by the 
      majority of patients.
