Video Summary
The ABLE questionnaire is a patient-centered measure of accidental bowel leakage symptoms. This study aimed to determine the responsiveness to change and the minimally important difference (MID) for the ABLE scale. The study used data from a randomized controlled trial, the CAPABLE trial, and analyzed measures completed at baseline and 24 weeks. The responsiveness to change was assessed by comparing ABLE change scores with change scores of other measures, including bowel diaries. The ability of the ABLE scale to distinguish patients who improved versus those who did not was also examined. The MID was determined using both distribution and anchor-based methodologies. The results showed that the ABLE questionnaire is responsive to change in intervention and has an MID of approximately .1. The study concluded that the ABLE questionnaire is a reliable and patient-centered measure of accidental bowel leakage symptoms.
