In the literature

If the required sample size for a variable is within the range expected for practical significance (e.g., n < 91 per group, estimated based on a power of 0.80, an alpha level of 0.05 and the minimum effect size representing a practically significant effect, i.e., η p 2 = 0.04; Ferguson, 2009 ), the lack of significant group difference in this variable could be due to an insufficient statistical power, which warrants further studies.
The RCI allows to define if the change observed in a patient is clinically and practically significant, based on the amount of change that a patient has to show on a specific psychometric instrument between the measurement occasions in such a way that a difference is more significant than reasonably expected for any measurement errors.
