Determining the Minimal Important Change of the Recap of Atopic Eczema (RECAP) Instrument in Clinical Trials
The interpretability of RECAP was improved by establishing MIC values and the following thresholds are suggested for interpreting changes in RECAP scores: <2.0 points is possibly a measurement error; 2.0-2.9 points denotes a small improvement that may be clinically relevant; 3.0-3.9 points indicates an improvement that is likely to be clinically important and ≥4.0 points is highly likely to represent a clinically important change.
