Minimal important difference
ID: minimal-important-difference
The Minimal Important Difference (MID) is a concept used in health-related research to define the smallest change in a treatment outcome that a patient would perceive as important. It is particularly significant in the fields of clinical trials, patient-reported outcomes, and health economics. The MID helps researchers and clinicians determine whether a treatment has a meaningful effect on a patient's health or quality of life, rather than just a statistically significant effect.
