TI  - Reliable change and minimum clinically important difference (MCID) of the 
      Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychology Status (RBANS) in a 
      heterogeneous dementia sample: Support for reliable change methods but not the 
      MCID.

AB  - We compare reliable change scores and recently published anchor-based cutoffs for 
      minimum clinically important difference (MCID) for the Repeatable Battery for the 
      Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) in a sample of patients diagnosed 
      with various forms of dementia. For memory clinic patients with dementia 
      evaluated twice over a one-year interval (N = 53), observed retest RBANS index 
      scores were compared with predicted retest index scores based on regression 
      formulae developed from cognitively healthy older adults. Patient RBANS change 
      scores were also compared to suggested MCID anchors. Patients with dementia 
      demonstrated a reliable decline on most RBANS indices, with evidence that the 
      Visuospatial/Constructional and Language Indices might be less sensitive to 
      decline over time. Although there was consistency between MCID and reliable 
      changes in this sample, there was a substantial proportion where the MCID was 
      exceeded, with no reliable change. We attempted to create MCIDs from the Clinical 
      Dementia Rating Sum of Box scores for RBANS reliable change scores, but failed to 
      find significant associations. Overall, the findings support use of the 
      regression based reliable change approach, but we caution use of the MCID 
      approach for the RBANS.
