本文的目的是描述一个反应性研究的分类系统，该系统旨在帮助组织这些研究，并识别那些有可能提供最小临床重要差异（MCID）信息的研究。我们开发了一个三维立方体，响应性研究可以根据对三个属性的评估进行分类：1。个体或群体设置；2. 哪个分数是对比的；和3。被评估的变化或差异的类型。我们提出并讨论了适合分类立方体中类别的研究示例。这种分类系统有助于将注意力集中在文献是否能够提供一个人感兴趣的特定类型的变化的信息上。它强调，仪器检测立方体内某一类歧视的能力并不意味着它一定会对另一类歧视做出反应。这里展示的立方体是一种分离研究的手段，以解决重要的变化。然后，可以将这些研究作为MCID的信息来源加以审查。
The purpose of this paper is to describe a classification system for studies of responsiveness that was designed to help organize these studies, and identify those with the potential to provide information on minimal clinically important difference (MCID). We developed a 3 dimensional cube into which studies of responsiveness can be categorized based on their evaluation of 3 attributes: 1. individual or group setting; 2. which scores are contrasted; and 3. the type of change or difference being assessed. We present and discuss examples of studies that fit into categories in the classification cube. This classification system helps to focus attention on whether the literature is able to provide information on the specific type of change a person is interested in. It reinforces that the ability of an instrument to detect a certain category of discrimination within the cube does not mean it will necessarily be responsive to another category. The cube has been shown here as a means to separate out studies that address important change. These studies can then be examined as the source of information on MCID.
