The Cognitive and Linguistic Scale (CALS) was developed to serially monitor cognitive recovery of children and young people after severe acquired brain injury (ABI), during inpatient rehabilitation. The CALS can be used to derive Cognitive Ability Estimates (CAE) which are Rasch-propertied (unidimensional, interval-scale) and therefore may be ideally applied for use in research including within the context of clinical trials. Here, we used established statistical distribution-based and expert consensus-based methods to estimate the Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) for CAE derived from the CALS.

Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD) disease is a defect in the function of the Branched-chain 2-ketoacid dehydrogenase complex (BCKDH). It is caused by pathogenic biallelic variants in BCKDHA, BCKA decarboxylase, or dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase. The brain is the major organ involved in MSUD.
