Minimal important difference, patient acceptable symptom state and longitudinal validity of oxford elbow score and the quickDASH in patients with tennis elbow

Table 2 MID estimates, sensitivity and specificity of the cut offs, and AUC-values from the ROC analysis

Outcome measure	MID	Sensitivity	Specificity	AUC (95% CI)
OES Pain	16	0.82	0.8	0.89 (0.85 to 0.92)
OES Function	16	0.74	0.71	0.81 (0.76 to 0.86)
OES Social-Psychological	28	0.71	0.85	0.85 (0.81 to 0.89)
OES Total	20	0.79	0.86	0.88 (0.85 to 0.92)
QuickDASH	-9	0.71	0.75	0.78 (0.73 to 0.83)

OES scaled 0 to 100 (higher is better), QuickDASH scaled 0 to 100 (higher is worse).
MID = minimal clinically important difference, AUC = Area Under the Curve, CI = Confidence interval, ROC = receiver operating characteristics, OES = The Oxford Elbow Score, DASH = Disabilities of Arms, Shoulder and Hand
