We sought to validate the MCID of the modified activities assessment scale (mAAS).<h4>Methods</h4>Patients were surveyed prior to undergoing abdomen/pelvis CT scans and resurveyed one year later. Before resurvey, patients were asked if they had no change, worsening, or improvement in AW-QOL. The anchor-based MCID was calculated by taking a weighted mean of the difference between control (no change) and study (worsening/improved) groups. Distribution-based approach was calculated by one-half of the standard deviation in the QOL change.<h4>Results</h4>52.8% of 181 patients self-reported no change, 39.2% reported improvement, and 8.3% reported worsening AW-QOL. The anchor-based approach MCID was 4. The distribution-based MCID was 16.<h4>Conclusion</h4>Our study results validate prior work demonstrating similar ranges of the mAAS MCID. We recommend adopting an MCID of 5 and 15 for AW-QOL with mAAS.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":1.9459101490553132,"endowment":1.9459101490553132,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"34325909","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3184068689","authors":[],"funders":[],"total_grants":0,"fwci":0.6076,"citation_percentile":0.67128842,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2023,"count":3},{"year":2025,"count":2},{"year":2026,"count":1}],"oa_status":"closed","license":"https://doi.org/10.15223/policy-004","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S0002961021004220?httpAccept=text/xml","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S0002961021004220?httpAccept=text/plain","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.amjsurg.2021.07.042","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34325909","host_type":"repository"}],"fields_of_study":["Surgical Simulation and Training","Enhanced Recovery After Surgery","Cancer survivorship and care","Humans","Minimal Clinically Important Difference","Prospective Studies","Quality of Life","Surveys and Questionnaires"],"mesh_terms":["Minimal Clinically Important Difference","Humans","Prospective Studies","Quality of Life","Surveys and Questionnaires"],"keywords":["Minimal clinically important difference","Medicine","Physical therapy","Quality of life (healthcare)","Pelvis","Randomized controlled trial","Surgery","Hernia","Qol","Patient-centered","Mcid","Anchor-based","Distribution-based"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":0,"sdg_label":"Good health and well-being"}],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-08-14T13:10:41.703929Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
