可信改變指數能決定前後測分數差是否超過測量誤差。

判斷標準:RCI>1.96代表有95%的信心水準,個案的分數變化在統計上已達顯著意義。
研究設計:對同一個案做兩次施測,以RCI值[前後測分數差除以sqrt(2倍SEM)]是否有超過1.96,來判定分數是否達統計上顯著差異。

臨床意義:可用來解釋單一個案的分數改變量是否達統計上顯著之意義(真實的改變)。

同義詞: minimal detectable change (MDC), smallest real difference (SRD)
一開始的RCI公式為:前後測分數差除以SEM(評估標準誤),後來才改為目前這個常用的公式。
同義詞: minimal detectable change (MDC), smallest real difference (SRD)
