AB  - CONTEXT: The number of patients with cervical spinal cord injury (CSCI) is 
      increasing, and the Capabilities of Upper Extremity Test (CUE-T) is recommended 
      for introduction in clinical trials. We calculated the minimal clinically 
      important difference (MCID) of the CUE-T using an adjustment model with an 
      interval of 1 month. DESIGN: This was a prospective study. SETTING: This study 
      was conducted with participants from the Chiba Rehabilitation Center in Japan. 
      PARTICIPANTS: The participants were patients with subacute CSCI. INTERVENTIONS: 
      The CUE-T and spinal cord independence measure (SCIM) III were performed twice 
      within an interval of 1 month. OUTCOME MEASURES: The MCID was calculated using an 
      adjustment model based on logistic regression analysis. The participants were 
      classified into an improvement group and a non-improvement group based on the 
      amount of change in the two evaluations using the 10-point SCIM III MCID as an 
      anchor. RESULTS: There were 52 participants (56.8 +/- 13.5 years old, 45 men/7 
      women) with complete or incomplete CSCI: 18 in the improvement group and 34 in 
      the non-improvement group. A significant regression equation was obtained when 
      calculating the MCID, and the total, hand, and side scores were 7.7, 2.0, and 3.7 
      points, respectively. CONCLUSION: The calculated MCID of the CUE-T in this study 
      was 7.7 points. The results of this study provide useful criteria for 
      implementation in clinical trials. Future studies should use patient-reported 
      outcomes, a more recommended anchor, and calculate the MCID using methods such as 
      the patient's condition.
