Pooled Minimal Clinically Important Differences of the Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test in Patients With Early Subacute Stroke: A Multicenter Prospective Observational Study. Physical therapy. 2024. DOI 10.1093/ptj/pzae017 Source examined: Complete licensed publisher HTML examined, including main-text tables and references; publisher PDF not retrieved. Three MCID estimates actually pooled; fourth method inapplicable. Therapist-only anchor; weaker assisted-walker correlation. No study-specific SEM/MDC: cited 3.4-point MDC is borrowed from Winairuk 2019.

Scoped audit evidence
These are source- and component-level audit summaries as of 3 October 2026. Access and comparison scope can differ by report; none certifies every result or the underlying raw data.
Stroke
53/58 at two units; first supratentorial stroke within three months, stable and able to follow instructions. Same trained therapist; baseline day 19.2, interval 14 days; Mini 17, MMSE 25.3; 37 unassisted/supervised and 16 assisted. Independent pretest GRC interviews; meaningful threshold +2. Patient/therapist improved counts 33/18, correlations .19/.54. Unassisted correlations .33/.57; assisted −.39/.26. Therapist +2 subgroup n=17: mean-change 4.5 (3.2–5.8); ROC 4.5, AUC .79 (.67–.91), sensitivity/specificity .56/.91, cutoff CI 1.5–4.5; predictive 3.2 (2.6–3.8). Fourth method inapplicable; 1000 bootstraps; three-method random-effects pooled 3.8 (2.9–5.0). Methods incorrectly describes the Youden objective. No study-specific MDC: 3.4 is cited from Winairuk. The report accurately limits interpretation and distinguishes an integer gain of four from ROC gain ≥5.
