AB  - OBJECTIVE: There is no established minimum clinically important difference (MCID) 
      for the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status 
      (RBANS) index and total scale scores. This study aimed to estimate the MCID for 
      the RBANS index scores and total scale score. METHOD: Participants included 1,856 
      ethnic Chinese, older adults. Distribution- and anchor-based methods were used to 
      estimate values for the MCID. Distribution-based estimates were calculated as the 
      standard error of measurement (SEM) and .5 standard deviations (SD). For 
      anchor-based estimates, we compared RBANS scores between the clinical dementia 
      rating (CDR) scale no dementia and very mild dementia groups and between the 
      clinical assessment of dementia (CAD) cognitively normal and mild cognitive 
      impairment groups using regression models adjusting for demographic 
      characteristics. RESULTS: Estimates from the CDR anchor were 7.79, 8.63, 10.74, 
      9.74, 5.61, and 3.77 for the total scale score, language, immediate memory, 
      delayed memory, visuospatial/constructional, and the attention index, 
      respectively. Estimates from the distribution-based methods were similar to the 
      estimates based on the CDR, except for the language and attention indexes. 
      Estimates from the CAD anchor were larger. CONCLUSIONS: We estimated the MCID for 
      the total scale score, language, immediate memory, delayed memory, 
      visuospatial/constructional, and attention indexes of the RBANS as 8, 9, 10, 10, 
      6, and 4 points, respectively. These estimates are best suited to discriminate 
      between patient groups, for example, in a clinical trial setting. Further 
      research is needed using longitudinal data to assess their applicability to 
      assess within patient differences.
