BIG DATA ON PATIENT-REPORTED OUTCOMES

Access the most comprehensive databases on all available anchor based minimal important difference (MID)s for instruments measuring patient-reported outcome across all therapeutic areas.

Having access to this will help you to interpret the patient-reported outcomes.

Patient-reported outcome (PRO)s

  • PRO refers to any report on the status of a patient's health condition that comes directly from the patient

  • PRO is essential in designing studies, evaluating interventions, educating consumers, and informing health policy makers involved with regulatory, reimbursement, and advisory agencies

  • The Interpretation of PRO remains challenging

Minimal Important Difference (MID)

  • MID refers to the Smallest change in a PRO that is considered as important by patients

  • MIDs facilitate the interpretation of PROs

  • Anchor-based MID inventory available

Are we ready to use MID?

​

  • MIDs are sometimes difficult to find (unstandardized nomenclature)

  • Need large resources to obtain the whole picture (Systematic Review)

  • MID has a substantial variability in the methodology and interpretation

  • MID might be different for PROs across different clinical conditions

WHAT WE OFFER​

Search Engine for MID across all PROs

You will be able to search MIDs across all therapeutic areas using below filter:
-Age
-Clinical condition
-Clinical area
-Geographical region
-Trustworthiness
-Anchor
-Analytical method
-Year of publication

MID Interactive Display Tool

Interactive designs show all PROs and MIDs available for a given condition along with all credibilities of included MIDs

Specific info on MID development

For each PRO, health related quality of life measurement tool, and MID development process, we provide references, additional details on population, country, interventions, credibility assessment per domain

Interpret the PRO using MID

After the very MID fits your need is identified, users can be redirected to a PRO score interpretation aid;

 

MID can be used to assist in the interpretation of meta-analysis of a particular PRO when using our ”MID meta-analytic tool”
