A recent study conducted at the University of Minnesota examined the minimum clinically important difference (MCID) values for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The study found that MCID values varied among patients based on preoperative characteristics such as gender, mental health diagnosis, and baseline function. The proportion of patients achieving MCID values was inversely related to preoperative baseline function. The researchers suggest that further investigation is needed to identify patient factors that can improve patient satisfaction with the procedure, even if they do not achieve a one-year MCID.
