Table 3 Change in outcomes (ΔPROMs) for the ‘minimal improvement’ (SANE = 15-45%, n = 45) and substantial improvement (SANE ≥ 60%, n = 166) cohorts after receiving BMC and PRP treatment for knee OA. Values for 12-month ΔPROMs represent mean ± standard deviation. Anchor-based, within cohort MCID and SCB values (means of their respective patient cohorts), are displayed (bold) along with the number and percentage of patient knees meeting or exceeding them.
