Abbreviation: MCID, minimum clinically important difference; PHQ, Patient Health Questionnaire.
Note: Boldface indicates statistical significance.
aP values calculated using logistic regression to assess each question as a predictor of MCID achievement.
bUnable to assess question 9 due to the limited number of patients with affirmative responses.
