Core Tip	The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) is crucial for assessing the real-world impact of medical treatments from a patient’s viewpoint. It ensures clinical outcomes are both statistically significant and beneficial in practice. Future directions involve standardizing MCID methods, increasing patient participation in setting thresholds, and broadening research for global applicability, enhancing MCID’s role in delivering meaningful, patient-valued healthcare outcomes.
