Credibility of the MIC values was examined using the MIC credibility instrument. The optimal MIC value was selected using a published systematic step-by-step approach, taking the credibility of the MIC studies, the correlation of the PROM change score with the anchor, the consistency of MIC values, and contextual factors (e.g. type of intervention) into account.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Eleven studies were included. Eight studies scored high on the core credibility items, but all studies scored low on the additional criteria, regarding the appropriateness of the time interval and the correlation between the anchor and (change in) PROM scores. The most credible estimates per PROM were not consistent and there were not enough estimates per PROM to study contextual factors. The following optimal MIC values (among ranges of MIC values found) were selected: DASH 9.4 (6.7\u201313.0), Q-DASH 7.4 (3.5\u201311.7), PRWE 11.5 (9.2\u201356.0), and PROMIS-UE v1.2 4.7 (4.6\u20134.8).
